Close view of a gilded processional vehicle with a large golden lion figure in the foreground, its mane and face richly carved with scrollwork and fanged jaws. Behind it, a second gilded lion-form support sits on a wooden platform. Yellow and white marigold garlands drape over the structure, and a red and gold cloth canopy rises above. A brass bowl of yellow flowers rests on the wooden base, with red fabric behind. No people are visible; this appears to be a temple or procession vehicle decorated for a festival.
