A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate silver ratha or chariot seat decorated with garlands of yellow and red flowers. The man wears saffron orange robes, a beige-gold headband, a rudraksha-style mala with gold beads and a gold pendant necklace, and a purple-and-white garland. He holds a silver staff or trident-like rod in one hand and smiles with eyes lowered. A red and yellow embroidered cloth lies in the foreground, with trees and a utility pole behind. The figure's long dark hair and distinctive saffron attire with ceremonial gold ornaments are consistent with a person appearance, though this is a probable appearance-based label only. Possibly a procession setting.
