A smiling man in a rust-orange robe sits on a festival float beside a large painted lion figure with a fringed mane. He wears a rudraksha mala across his chest, multiple rudraksha bracelets, a gold necklace, and a long garland of red, yellow, white and green flowers. He holds a silver staff topped with a lion head, with rudraksha hanging from it. A painted deity figure with a turquoise body and ornate gold-and-blue garments stands behind him at night, with a yellow tiger-like head visible at right. The scene suggests a night procession ratha.
