A procession scene on a decorated golden palanquin draped with white and orange marigold garlands. A man in a rust-red turban and saffron-orange robe sits on a pink cushioned seat, wearing a heavy gold necklace, rudraksha mala beads and a gold bracelet, and holds up a small pink flower. Beside him stands a bare-chested attendant in a white dhoti with a gold border and a gold necklace, holding a long ceremonial sword. Golden pillars and a fringed canopy frame the palanquin. The seated man's identity is uncertain from appearance; he is described by role as a rider on the palanquin.
