Night procession scene of a golden ratha-style palanquin decorated with marigold and flower garlands in yellow, pink and white, with hanging tassels in red, pink, green, orange and blue. Seated on the palanquin's raised platform, a bald man in saffron-orange robes rests his chin on his hand while a second person in orange robes and a flower garland sits smiling. A man in white dhoti stands at the right, and another man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala stands holding garlands near the palanquin edge. A red ceremonial parasol is overhead. No appearance-based cues qualify the seated figure as a person, so identity is uncertain.
