A decorated golden palanquin-style vehicle in a festival procession, its frame draped with garlands of purple, white, yellow and orange flowers and ferns, with red and blue tassels and gold bells hanging from it. A man with long dark hair sits at the centre of the vehicle, wearing an orange-saffron garment with a white floral garland and a red-and-white flower garland, and a red mark on his forehead; he appears to be a person, identified by his long swept hair, saffron clothing and garlands on this vehicle. Around the vehicle, people in white dhotis and shirts stand and walk, some holding an orange-and-gold umbrella and a golden box on the right, with palm trees and an open sky behind.
