Night procession scene. A person stands on an ornate golden palanquin-style chariot with a canopy of orange, teal and red fabric with hanging gold bells and tassels in green, purple, pink and yellow. The person, wearing a red and gold garland and white forehead markings, holds hands folded in namaste while standing among marigold and white flower garlands draping the chariot's golden frame. Lit lamps glow along the vehicle. Bystanders' heads are visible at the bottom edge. A distinctive presentation cue is not clearly established, so the identity remains uncertain.
