Outdoor procession scene with a seated figure on an ornate gilded throne-palanquin with carved lion and swan motifs. The central man wears a saffron-orange robe, a saffron turban, a long beaded necklace and rudraksha-style beads, and sits with hands resting on his lap. Around him, devotees in orange and red clothing carry the palanquin and stand near, one man in a red shirt bending low at the base of the throne. Overhead are yellow, red and green ceremonial umbrellas with tasselled fringe, and a red flag stands to the left. A mirrored decorated umbrella and a golden kalasha-style crown finial are visible. The setting is bright daylight with trees in the background.
