Night procession photo of a man seated on an ornate, flower-decorated golden ratha or palanquin. He wears a gold crown with a red-and-gold turban, a rust-brown robe, a rudraksha-style necklace of gold beads, and a white-and-green garland. He smiles and holds a tall silver trident. Behind him is a huge arch of garlands in yellow, white, purple and red, with a jewelled red, green and blue embroidered backdrop. A golden lion-like figure and a leopard-print cushion sit beside him.
