A man seated on an ornate float or ratha during an evening procession, smiling broadly. He wears a black and gold crown-like headpiece with red trim, a rust-brown saffron-toned robe, a heavy gold ceremonial necklace and a long white and green flower garland. He holds a silver trident in his right hand. The seat is covered in leopard-print cushions flanked by golden lion figures, and behind him are garlands of yellow marigolds, purple and white flowers and a jewelled red and green panel.
