A smiling man rides in a procession on an ornate silver-blue chariot seat decorated with embossed floral motifs. He wears an orange-saffron cloth over his shoulders, a white turban-style head wrap, and white and red flower garlands. He holds a gold trident staff upright in his right hand. Behind him hang colourful balloons in yellow, blue, pink and green, and a striped fringed canopy with red, green and yellow tassels sits at the left edge. An orange and blue flag is visible above, and an unidentified hand appears in the foreground. The scene suggests a ratha procession during a festival day.
