Night procession on a gilded ratha chariot decorated with marigold and multicolour garlands and tassels, a golden horse-head finial at the right. An orange-turbaned man in orange and saffron clothing and garlands sits on the chariot seat beside a bare-chested attendant in white dhoti with pink colour on his shoulders. A young attendant in white waves a white feather fan over the chariot. In the foreground a woman in white with bangles holds a long golden ceremonial staff, and a man in white stands at lower right. The orange-turbaned figure's distinctive orange clothing and turban make him a person candidate, but his face and features are not clear enough to confirm him.
