A procession scene in daylight. A seated figure in orange-saffron robes and long dark hair sits on an ornate silver throne-palanquin under a red and gold canopy with tasseled fringe. He holds a gold trident (trishul) upright in his right hand and raises his left hand in greeting, wearing red and yellow flower garlands and a gold necklace. Colourful balloons in blue, green, orange, red and yellow hang around the canopy. A man in a dark shirt sits at the lower right edge, and a silver decorated panel is visible in the foreground. The figure's appearance is consistent with the a person's typical presentation, but the page does not state he is present and this is an appearance-based candidate, so the identification is probable rather than confirmed.

A figure in an orange-saffron robe sits on a silver-covered throne-style seat on a decorated procession vehicle, holding a tall gold-tipped staff in the right hand and a gold object in the lap.

Two red umbrellas with tasselled fringes shade the seat, and colourful balloons in blue, yellow, green, pink and white float around it.
