A man seated on an ornate golden throne-chariot during a night procession, smiling broadly. He wears a gold crown with a red band and a red bindi, a dark forehead-to-crown hair style, an orange-saffron shawl over his shoulders, and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace with a white flower garland. Two golden lion figures flank the seat, which is draped in leopard-print cushions and surrounded by a dense arrangement of yellow, white, red and purple flower garlands and a decorated canopy. a person is the seated figure, shown here as the procession's central figure on a palanquin-style throne.
