A seated man in an ornate decorated palanquin or ratha is the central figure, wearing a thick red flower garland and a white jasmine garland over orange-red clothing with red lower wrap, sitting barefoot on a cushioned seat. A green and red tasselled canopy with gold finials shades him, and a large gold trident stands at the right, with white and pink flower garlands draped along the frame. Surrounding greenery and a terracotta wall form the background.

A man with short dark hair sits smiling on a cushioned seat, wearing a thick red flower garland around his neck, an orange robe and red dhoti-style lower cloth. Above him stands a large yellow ceremonial umbrella with fringe and tassels, and a second red and green umbrella with gold tassels, with a red embroidered banner on the right. Onlookers are partly visible at the bottom edge of the frame, along the procession route. The description is based on visible appearance only; the page links this to a Youth Day event and a person's presence, but the seated man's appearance does not clearly establish that identity.2010-12-22
