A decorated golden palanquin procession at an outdoor event under a clear blue sky. Multiple ornate umbrellas in red, orange, white and gold with fringed tassels shade the palanquin. Garlands of pink, orange and yellow flowers hang from its gilded frame, and hanging brass bells and red tassels dangle at the front. A woman in a rust-orange sari with a dark braid stands at right holding a white-and-gold umbrella pole. Two seated figures are visible on the palanquin: one with a shaved head and orange robes at left, and another partly obscured behind the umbrellas in orange and red clothing. Crowd heads appear at the bottom right beside a red brick wall and a tree.
