A man in saffron-orange robes rides in a decorated palanquin or ratha, raising his right hand in greeting. He wears a golden-brown head wrap, a gold necklace, and a rudraksha-style mala, with long dark hair swept back. Yellow and red flower garlands drape the seat and his shoulders, and a trident-tipped staff rests beside him. Behind him a yellow, green and blue canopy with tassels shades the procession, and a second orange-robed attendant sits nearby with a gold necklace. Onlookers in white stand in the background against an orange wall. Appearance-based label: a person, riding in procession.
