A smiling figure sits centrally wearing an ornate gold crown, a large garland of white and red flowers, a beaded rudraksha-style necklace and an orange cloth over the shoulders. Above, a canopy hung with multicoloured tassels in orange, green, pink, blue and yellow frames the scene, and marigold garlands drape the golden structure. A silver-handled ceremonial staff rests beside the seat, and a brass lamp or kalasha-like vessel stands at lower left among flower garlands. The figure's identity is not established by visible cues beyond the crown, garlands and orange attire, so the subject is recorded as a procession participant on a chariot.2011-12-15March 13 20172017-03-13
