A woman stands on an ornate golden palanquin or ratha during a procession, smiling and clapping her hands with palms together. She wears a rust-red and maroon sari with a gold border, a gold pendant necklace and a dark rudraksha mala, and gold bangles on her wrists. Behind her a golden umbrella with yellow canopy, green and red tassels and marigold garlands rises on a gilded pole with bells, and the carved gold base of the vehicle is visible in the foreground under a clear sky.
