A smiling bearded man sits on an ornate golden-and-jewelled palanquin or ratha at night, decorated with yellow marigolds, white flower garlands and red roses. He wears a gold crown with a crescent moon ornament, a red-and-gold tilak on his forehead, a rust-orange robe and a heavy necklace of golden beads with a white flower garland. Behind him is a richly embroidered, sequin-studded canopy in red, green, blue and white, and a leopard-print cushion. A ceremonial silver staff stands at the left, and gold lion-shaped carvings flank the seat. A partially visible person's head appears at the lower right.
