A man rides in a procession on an ornate silver-blue palanquin-style float decorated with balloons in red, orange, green, yellow, blue and pink, beneath a red canopy with tasselled fringe. He wears a cream and gold turban, a white flower garland and an orange garment, with a red tilak on his forehead. A golden trident (trishul) rises beside him, and red and orange flags frame the scene against a bright sky. This appears to be a festival procession ride.
