Outdoor procession scene with a man seated on a golden throne-like palanquin decorated with marigold and white flower garlands. He wears an orange-red robe, a white flower garland, and a rudraksha-style bead necklace, waving his right hand while smiling. Two gold-and-multicolour canopy umbrellas with embroidered panels shelter the seat, and a golden trident-topped staff stands beside it. A second man in an orange robe walks at the left holding a golden staff, and a bearded man in red garments stands in front. Banana leaves and flower decorations frame the palanquin against a white and red striped wall. A large crowd of devotees in white and blue shirts fills the foreground, some with hands raised.
