A procession on a decorated ratha carriage pulled by two white horses with red and gold harnesses and tasselled trappings. A seated figure in orange and red ceremonial robes and a garland sits on a silver-and-red seat beneath a multicoloured parasol with tassels. Red heart-shaped balloons and pink, yellow and purple flowers decorate the carriage. A trident stands at the right edge and a crowd in orange and white clothing walks alongside. A sign on the left reads Nithyananda Youth Centre with a small portrait. The seated figure's appearance is not clearly established, so the identity is uncertain.
