Outdoor photograph of a festival procession under a large yellow ceremonial umbrella with red, green and orange fringed tassels. A smiling man in a brown-maroon long coat with gold embroidered trim and a light brown turban with a red tilak sits on a white-draped carriage seat. Behind him a crowd of young people in white dhotis and saffron-orange sashes and scarves watches, with palm trees behind. On the right a man in an orange headband and white shirt claps. A silver staff with a finial is held by a youth in white. The scene reads as a procession with a seated honoured figure; the seated man's identity is not established by visible cues beyond clothing and turban.
