A festive procession on an ornate golden chariot-throne under a fringed canopy draped with purple, yellow and pink flower garlands. A smiling figure with long dark hair wears a gold crown, a red garment, a rudraksha-style mala and gold necklaces, seated on red and orange cushions. Beside him stands an attendant in orange-brown clothing holding a golden trident-like staff. Gold pillars with bead-like finials and tassels frame the scene. The figure's appearance is consistent with the candidate a person, though this is uncertain. Overall the scene depicts a ratha procession.
