A decorated palanquin or ratha-style canopy stands on a paved driveway beside a white brick wall, draped with red, yellow and white flower garlands and peacock feathers. Seated within is a figure in white clothing and an ornate orange-and-gold turban, wearing layered gold and jewelled necklaces and a large green stone pendant, with a white garland around the neck. Two men stand at left in orange and white garments with hands pressed together in greeting, and at right a man in orange robes and a red-edged shawl extends his hand toward the figure. Parked cars and trees appear in the background.
