Night procession of a richly decorated golden palanquin or ratha, strung with pink, yellow and green garlands and hanging tassels in multicoloured bands. Seated on the ornate golden seat is a man in an orange-saffron robe with a gold crown and a white flower garland, his hands resting on the seat. Standing beside the palanquin is a man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with a crown and long dark hair, next to another orange-clad attendant holding the palanquin. Orange and red umbrellas shade the scene, and a white chamara fan is visible at lower right. Dim night setting with stage-like lights and onlookers at the edges.
