A smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair sits on a golden ceremonial vehicle decorated with flower garlands. He wears an orange-saffron robe, a red and white flower garland and a rudraksha-style necklace. Behind him rise tall poles hung with colourful tassels in yellow, green, red, pink and blue, and purple and white floral garlands wrap a pillar on the right.
