A smiling man rides on a decorated procession float. He wears an ornate gold crown with a finial and carved floral patterns, a small red bindi on his forehead, and a white garment. Long dark hair falls past his shoulders. He is draped with a red rose garland and a white flower garland, and wears a gold bead necklace. Behind him are golden structures with red and green tassels, and yellow flower garlands hang on the right. The scene is a festival procession with a float, though I cannot confirm the individual's identity from appearance alone.
