A festival procession on a gold-and-decorated ratha or palanquin, its canopy hung with fringed yellow, pink, red and green tassels and golden bells, and draped with white jasmine and pink-purple flower garlands. A man with long dark hair sits on a gold seat wearing a green-gold garment, a heavy gold necklace and a white-and-red flower garland, with a dark cushion on his lap. Blurred devotees in the foreground, some in orange, frame the scene. Appearance-based label: a person, seated on the decorated procession vehicle with ceremonial gold adornments and a garland.
