A man in saffron-orange ceremonial clothing sits on a richly decorated palanquin or ratha framed by hanging white jasmine garlands and red roses. He wears a rust-orange turban with a blue and gold ornament at the top, a rudraksha-style garland of pink and white flowers, a gold ceremonial necklace, gold armbands, and a red tilak on his forehead. He holds a gold-handled staff or stick across his lap. Orange and red roses fill the foreground, and the scene is lit warmly against a dark backdrop. a person appears seated in an ornate procession vehicle, with his role as the honoured figure suggested by the palanquin setting.
