A festival procession on a sunny street in India. On an open vehicle decorated with a white canopy and yellow and red marigold garlands, a man in saffron robes with a saffron turban and a long white beaded garland sits centrally, with a bare-chested man in front of him and attendants in saffron around. Two large ornate umbrellas in red, orange and green with peacock motifs shelter the vehicle, and a silver trident stands at right. Crowds of men in white kurtas and khaki-uniformed police line the road, and a painted blue backdrop with a red-and-white patterned frame sits behind. Possible a person: the seated saffron-robed figure wears a saffron turban, a long beaded garland and orange robes, consistent with the page's reference to a person at this event.
