Close view inside a wooden palanquin frame: a hand wrapped in rudraksha beads ties thick white rope around a carved wooden pillar while pink lotus garlands hang nearby. Maroon cloth is draped over a seated figure and bright yellow and white flower garlands are visible at the top. Another hand with rudraksha bracelets rests on the frame at the edge. The setting suggests a procession ratha being secured for festival transport.
