A festive outdoor procession on a golden ratha-style palanquin beneath a large red and yellow canopy with gold fringe and a tall gold finial. The vehicle is decorated with white and green garlands, purple and yellow flower swags, and tassels, with brass cymbal-like instruments hanging from its side. A seated central figure in a saffron-orange robe with a gold crown and gold jewellery raises a hand in blessing. A bare-chested attendant in orange cloth stands at the left, and two women in red-orange saris stand at the right, one with hands joined. Green fairy lights line the poles at dusk, and a trident hangs on the right.
