A golden ratha-style vehicle with a carved gilded bull head (nandi) in front holds three figures on a decorated seat. The central figure is a silver-faced deity murti wearing a crown, a jewelled necklace and a green garment, with its hands raised in a mudra. Flanking figures wear turbans, jewelled necklaces and ornaments. Dense garlands of red, white, orange, purple and green flowers surround the seat, and a red silk cloth hangs over the front edge. The figures are statues, not people, and the scene shows a festival procession-style display on a stage.
