A procession on a dirt road shows two white horses drawing a silver-coloured ceremonial carriage, with a seated man in orange robes, a white head wrap and a white garland at its centre. Balloons in yellow, orange, green, blue and pink are tied to the carriage, and two multicoloured umbrellas with tasselled fringes shelter it. Orange flags with a dark blue emblem flutter behind, and a brass trident rises at the right edge. Men in orange and white dhotis and pink shirts walk alongside the horses, one holding the bridle, with a golden trident-topped staff nearby.
