A man in a rust-orange turban and orange robes, wearing a rudraksha mala and long ceremonial garlands, sits on an ornate gold throne-like seat on a float and raises his hand in greeting.

Leopard-print cushions cover the seats.2016-04-22April 22 20162016-04-22A smiling man seated on an ornate gold throne-like chariot seat during a procession, raising his right hand in greeting.

A central seated figure wears a rust-orange turban, orange robes, a long white-and-gold beaded necklace and rudraksha-style beads, and holds his hands together in his lap. Colourful tasselled umbrellas in yellow, red, purple and white hang overhead. Around the cart, attendants in orange and saffron cloth, one bare-chested with beaded necklaces, sit or stand, and a man in a pink-and-white striped shirt is seated at left. A red flag is in the foreground and a bare tree stands behind. The seated figure's appearance is not clearly distinctive enough to confirm identity from clothing alone, so his identity is left unsure.2016-04-22A photograph of a man seated on an ornate gilded throne with a large carved cobra hood overhead, raising his right hand in greeting during a procession.
