Outdoor procession on a sunny day under a clear blue sky. A golden ornate palanquin-like throne under a large decorated umbrella carries a seated figure in orange robes and a red turban, wearing a marigold garland, while golden lion-shaped carvings flank the seat. Beside it a man in orange clothing beats a metal drum and another in orange plays a horn. Devotees in orange and red garments, some with folded hands, crowd the roadside and the chariot; a bald man in a rudraksha-style necklace sits at lower left. Red and orange flags and a small banner with printed text are visible, and a red-and-yellow parasol stands at right.
