A smiling man rides in a procession on a silver ornate palanquin or ratha decorated with yellow and magenta marigold garlands. He wears a saffron-orange sleeveless robe with a golden band on a beige head wrap, a red tilak on his forehead, and a long gold bead necklace with a rudraksha-style mala. Multiple garlands of red, yellow, white and purple flowers drape over his shoulders. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated in the procession as the central figure.
