Outdoor procession on a decorated palanquin-style platform under a bright orange canopy hung with beaded tassels and gold finials. A seated figure in a deep maroon turban and maroon-red robes, with a rudraksha-style brown bead mala and gold bangles, sits centrally and smiles. Beside him stands a man in white dhoti-style garments with a gold necklace, orange-red tilak on his forehead, and a silver spear-like staff held upright. Marigold garlands drape the platform edges and the seated figure's lap. Bright daylight, sky background, and a partly visible spectator's hand at the lower right.
