A smiling man in a deep maroon turban and a red tilak on his forehead sits on a decorated palanquin-like platform beneath a canopy hung with white and pink flower garlands and gold-capped tassels in orange, teal, purple and red. He wears thick pink rose garlands, heavy gold ornaments on his chest and upper arm, and gold bangles, and raises a silver staff topped with a finial in his right hand. Behind him, two women in matching red-orange saris with gold necklaces sit on the platform, one wearing glasses and a red bindi. Red flags are visible in the background.

A man seated on red cushions wears a rust-orange turban, orange-red robes, a red-and-white flower garland, and layered gold necklaces with large gold pendants. He smiles broadly with eyes closed, one arm raised outward and the other hand near his face. Behind him a large gold-and-red circular sun-face shield and a gold-tasselled canopy with white jasmine garlands are visible. A polished silver vessel sits in the foreground, and a smiling woman in white is partly visible at the right edge. The clothing and seated position suggest a sannyasi-style figure, but appearance alone is insufficient for a confident identification.2015-09-09 +1 copiesFebruary 12 20132013-02-12 +1 copiesSeptember 13 20152015-09-13 +1 copiesSeptember 13 20152015-09-13 +1 copiesFebruary 12 20132013-02-12 +1 copiesNight procession on a decorated golden palanquin or ratha draped with white and pink flower garlands and multicoloured tassels.
