A festival procession on a decorated silver-and-red ratha seat with a central figure seated on a throne-like silver chair. The seated man wears a saffron-orange robe, an orange-and-gold head wrap, a rudraksha mala and a ceremonial garland with a bold red-and-white band. Yellow and red marigold and rose garlands drape the carriage, and a red velvet cloth with gold embroidery covers the seat. Above, a large multicolour parasol with tassels shelters him. Red heart-shaped balloons, orange flags, gold staves and a crowd of devotees surround the carriage. A concrete block wall and a green tree stand behind. The figure matches the page's a person cues: orange clothing, a head wrap and a rudraksha mala, so the identification is probable.
