A procession on a gold-decorated ratha, a palanquin-style chariot, draped with white and purple floral garlands. A seated figure with long dark hair wears a red shawl and red garment and sits on an orange cushion beneath a large yellow canopy with fringe. Ornate poles, a trident-topped finial and multicoloured tassels frame the scene. Devotees in white and saffron stand along the sides, some with folded hands, and a white-clad woman is visible at right. Red bougainvillea-style flowers and orange flags appear in the background beside an orange-brown wall.
