A smiling person in ornate ceremonial dress sits on a gilded throne at an outdoor festival camp, palms pressed together in greeting. He wears a tall gold crown, a rudraksha mala with gold beads, a brown beaded garland, and bangles on the forearms, with white markings on the face. Behind him stand a golden lion-shaped seat and a gold-framed chair draped in leopard print. Red and saffron flags and a striped canopy with pennants stretch overhead, and a banner with printed portraits hangs beside tents. Several white-clad people and a person in lavender stand or sit in the background. Bright daylight suggests a Kumbh Mela procession camp.
