A procession on a roadside lined with palm trees and tall trees. A person seated on an ornate white and red decorated carriage drawn by white horses, wearing saffron-orange robes, a golden head band and a beaded necklace, raised on a platform with garlands of yellow and red flowers.

Devotees in saffron-orange and white clothes walk alongside, some holding staffs. A young man in a black jacket holds the reins beside the horses, and red balloons are tied to the carriage top.
