A central seated figure in an ornate gold headdress and draped orange-red robes is flanked by attendants in saffron-brown robes and rudraksha malas; one attendant on the left holds a golden trident, another on the right holds a golden staff. Golden fans, a golden kalasha-style pole and garlands of marigold and mixed flowers decorate the chariot. Crowd silhouettes fill the foreground under a pale pink dusky sky.
