A smiling person seated on an ornate golden ratha or palanquin-style throne, pressing palms together in a namaste greeting during a procession. He wears a tall gold crown with a green gem, a pink and white jasmine garland, layered gold necklaces and a dark brown rudraksha mala, plus white vibhuti and a red kumkum bindi on the forehead. Behind him hang a green tassel, garlands of purple, yellow and magenta flowers, and an orange cushion lies on the seat. The procession setting and flower-decorated chariot are clear, and the figure appears to be a senior devotee or sannyasi receiving the crowd's reverence.
