A figure in a maroon-brown turban and reddish-brown robe sits on an ornate golden throne-like chariot seat, waving one hand toward a crowd. He wears layered gold necklaces and a multi-strand garland of white jasmine, pink and yellow flowers. Behind the chariot, a dense crowd of devotees, many with raised hands, is held back by yellow metal barricades. Orange marigold garlands lie on the carriage, with red-and-blue cushions and a decorated canopy above with pink and teal tassels. Tents and a banner reading Bhagavad Gita are in the background. The figure's appearance is consistent with a person seated in procession, with cues of turban, robes, gold ornaments and garlands.
