A festival procession on a richly decorated golden ratha chariot. A smiling man with long dark hair, bare-chested, wears a saffron-orange garment and a long rudraksha mala, a gold ceremonial crown and red flower garlands. He raises his right hand in greeting from the chariot seat. The chariot is draped with yellow and white marigold garlands, red flowers, gold bells and multicoloured tassels in orange, green, pink, blue and red.
