A photograph of a procession chariot decorated with white jasmine garlands and orange and yellow marigold strings, framing two large deity murti figures in ornate jewelled necklaces and crowns. A man in a saffron-orange turban and orange robe, with long hair, holds a lit oil lamp toward the figures in aarti. Beside him stands a uniformed police officer in khaki with a peaked cap, and a red cloth drapes the platform. Incense smoke rises among the garlands. The man's appearance with long hair, saffron turban and orange robe is a possible match for a person candidate, but the image shows him only partially and not clearly enough to confirm identity, so this is uncertain.
