A photograph of a festival procession. A man seated on an elaborate gold throne with carved dragon-like and peacock motifs wears a maroon turban, saffron robe, a layered gold-and-beaded necklace and a dark shawl, and holds his hands together at his lap. Leopard-print cushions line the throne. Behind him a colourful canopy with tasselled fringe and white dove motifs shades the seat. To the left, a man in white holds a silver staff and a saffron-trimmed fan, and an attendant in orange robes with gold armbands stands near the throne. In the foreground, a shaved-headed man in saffron and white clothing with a rudraksha-style necklace sits near spectators, a man in a blue vest watches, and red flags flutter at the edges. A procession is underway on a dusty roadside with trees and a bright sky.

A photograph of a procession outdoors where a seated figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban sits with palms pressed together in namaste on an ornate gold throne with peacock and lion carvings and a gold cobra hood backrest. A rudraksha-style mala and gold necklace hang on the chest, with bangles on the wrists. A bald man in orange with a white earpiece sits at lower left, and a man with a vertical tilak and orange cloth stands at left holding an orange pole. At right, a red and multicoloured tasselled umbrella and a figure in orange with white tilak stand near a leopard-print cushion.
