A photograph of a procession outdoors where a seated figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban sits with palms pressed together in namaste on an ornate gold throne with peacock and lion carvings and a gold cobra hood backrest. A rudraksha-style mala and gold necklace hang on the chest, with bangles on the wrists. A bald man in orange with a white earpiece sits at lower left, and a man with a vertical tilak and orange cloth stands at left holding an orange pole. At right, a red and multicoloured tasselled umbrella and a figure in orange with white tilak stand near a leopard-print cushion. The scene is a festival procession in bright sunlight with leafless trees behind. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with a person candidate, but the identification is uncertain.

April 22 20162016-04-22A photograph of a festival procession. A man seated on an elaborate gold throne with carved dragon-like and peacock motifs wears a maroon turban, saffron robe, a layered gold-and-beaded necklace and a dark shawl, and holds his hands together at his lap. Leopard-print cushions line the throne. Behind him a colourful canopy with tasselled fringe and white dove motifs shades the seat. To the left, a man in white holds a silver staff and a saffron-trimmed fan, and an attendant in orange robes with gold armbands stands near the throne. In the foreground, a shaved-headed man in saffron and white clothing with a rudraksha-style necklace sits near spectators, a man in a blue vest watches, and red flags flutter at the edges. A procession is underway on a dusty roadside with trees and a bright sky.2016-04-22April 22 20162016-04-22April 22 20162016-04-22April 22 20162016-04-22April 22 20162016-04-22April 22 20162016-04-22April 22 20162016-04-22A seated figure in an orange-saffron turban and orange robes sits with palms pressed together in namaste on an ornate gold throne shaped like a cobra hood with carved golden lion armrests and leopard-print cushions, during a procession. Two yellow canopy umbrellas with fringed tassels shade the throne. A bare-chested attendant in a white dhoti with gold border and a ceremonial staff stands at right, a uniformed police officer holding a rifle stands in front, and a partially visible person in orange at lower right.

He wears a rust-orange dhoti-style wrap, a heavy gold ceremonial necklace with a central pendant, rudraksha beads and orange bangles on his arms, a gold crown with a turquoise stone, and a red tilak on his forehead. He sits with hands resting on his knees and smiles. Attendants stand around the throne holding long ceremonial staffs and fans, one with a wide sun-faced circular parasol decorated with a painted sun motif in red and yellow. A figure in a green cap stands at the right edge. The page is a Kumbh Mela shahi snan procession, but the appearance here is only a loose match, so the identity of the seated figure is uncertain.2016-04-22
