A smiling man in a red-maroon turban and saffron-orange robe sits on an ornate festival vehicle at night, raising his right hand in greeting. He wears a heavy gold necklace, a large gold pendant, a dense brown rudraksha-style mala and a pink-and-white flower garland, with gold armlets and bangles. A tilak mark is on his forehead. Behind him are decorated ceremonial umbrellas with red, gold and embroidered panels, and a silver-rimmed vessel stands at the lower right beside a silver staff. A woman in red clothing and gold jewellery appears at the right edge, and another raised hand is visible behind him.
