Photograph of a long-haired man in orange saffron robes seated on an ornate silver and orange carriage during a festival procession, under a red and orange canopy with colourful tassels. He wears a red headband with a red bindi, a white and red flower garland with gold bead necklace, and his hands rest near a gold ceremonial staff topped with a sculpted figure against a blue sky. Orange and white balloons hang from the carriage. The a person cue is an appearance-based candidate: long swept hair, red headband, saffron clothing and ornate garland, consistent with the page's reference to a person arriving in a horse-drawn carriage at Brahmotsav.
