A festive procession scene with a man in a rust-red turban and red-orange robe at centre, wearing a heavy gold necklace, layered gold chains and a pink-red flower garland, smiling with a tilak on his forehead. Beside him on the left, a man with wavy dark hair, white forehead markings and a red bindi wears a gold-trimmed shawl and beaded garland. Behind them hang large white jasmine garlands, red and pink flowers and a gold tassel on a decorated palanquin or ratha. At right, a woman in red clothing holds a ceremonial silver staff, and a child in the foreground looks on. a person is the turbaned man at centre, identified only by the rust turban, saffron-red robe, gold and flower garlands and ornate chains; the appearance cues are distinctive but not conclusive.
