A man with long dark hair, white vibhuti marks and a red kumkum dot on his forehead sits on a decorated procession vehicle, wearing an orange saffron shawl and a thick white jasmine garland with red roses over an ornate gold chain. He smiles and rests one hand on a white and purple flower garland. Beside him stand golden finials draped with fringed tassels in pink, green, yellow and blue, and tall purple and pink flower garlands wrap a gold pillar. A leopard-print cloth shows at his shoulder, and the blurred foreground includes gold-embossed decoration and orange fabric. Consistent with the a person cues of long hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial gold adornments, this appears to be a procession scene.
