A smiling figure in a maroon turban and rust-coloured robe rides in a red-cushioned open vehicle during an outdoor procession, raising one hand in greeting. Heavy gold necklaces, a pendant, a multi-strand rudraksha-style mala, and garlands of red, white and orange flowers adorn them. Above, a decorated umbrella with yellow, purple, teal and pink tassels shades the rider. Behind, a bald man in white ritual dress and an orange-robed attendant holding a long pole stand near a crowd lining a yellow barrier, with orange marigold garlands along the route and flowering trees and market stalls in the background. The scene reads as a ceremonial parade.
