Outdoor procession scene showing two golden metal deity murtis seated side by side on a decorated palanquin-style platform, heavily garlanded with bands of yellow, pink, red and white flowers. The figure on the left wears a golden-brown head cloth, gold necklaces and a raised right hand in blessing; the figure on the right wears a crown, large earrings, white and gold necklaces and a red and gold garment. Behind them, ornate carved pillars of the ratha frame are visible, with trees and a few standing devotees in white and purple clothing at the edge of the frame, some watching and some partially cropped at the right. A cloth draped over the platform's front and a green cloth below suggest a temple-style street procession.
