A smiling man in saffron-orange robes sits on a decorated procession vehicle. He wears a large gold crown, a rudraksha mala with ceremonial gold ornaments, and thick red and yellow marigold garlands with white flowers over his shoulders. Behind him rise golden finials trimmed with green, blue and tassels, and the vehicle is decorated with yellow and red flowers.
