Outdoor street procession in Tamil Nadu. A person in an orange turban and orange garment with a red-and-white flower garland sits on a red-cushioned chariot or palanquin beneath a large red canopy trimmed with white flower strands. Two white animals with multicoloured pompoms in their headwear are in front of the chariot. A crowd of men and women fills the foreground; a man in the foreground has a red tilak on his forehead. A green bus and orange flags are visible behind. The rider appears smiling, with long dark hair, but appearance alone is insufficient for identification, so the rider is described by role as a person being carried in procession.
