A smiling man seated on a red-orange cushioned throne raises both arms overhead during an evening procession. He wears a rust-red turban with a red bindi, a saffron-orange robe with a gold-striped border, layered gold necklaces, gold armlets and bangles, and a thick garland of pink flowers. Behind him, white jasmine garlands and gold kalasha-like finials decorate a palanquin or ratha with yellow and red tassels. A second man in white ritual dress with gold trim sits at left. Procession, festival, devotion.
