A photograph of a procession on a ratha or chariot decorated with white and pink flower garlands, gold finials and fringed canopy tassels in yellow, red and teal. A seated person in a maroon robe with a gold-edged sash raises both arms overhead, palms open, smiling. He wears a maroon turban, layered gold necklaces with a large gold pendant, gold bangles and a rudraksha-style bead mala, and white markings on the arms. Marigold and rose petals cover the red cushioned seat. Behind him a woman in glasses and maroon clothing smiles, and a child with a hand near his mouth sits beside them. Orange-robed people and a golden umbrella appear in the background.
