A smiling man in an ornate golden palanquin or throne-like seat, wearing a deep red turban with a red tilak on his forehead, gold ornaments and a beaded necklace in red and gold tones. Orange and white marigold garlands hang around the frame, and colourful tassels in purple, red and green hang above him from a gold canopy. A figure in red and orange robes stands at the right edge, wearing beaded bracelets. The ornate golden carvings of the seat and an orange-and-white garlanded procession setting suggest a ceremonial procession. The appearance is consistent with a person figure seated in the palanquin, though identity is not certain from appearance alone.
