A smiling man in a rust-red turban and bare-chested orange-saffron cloth stands at the front of a decorated palanquin or ratha. He wears a brown rudraksha mala and layered gold necklaces, gold bangles on his upper arm and wrist, and a red tilak on his forehead. He holds a tall gold-finial pole with his right hand. Above him hang red, green and purple tassels, golden bells and orange marigold garlands, with a sprinkling of small mirrored ornaments. A second person's hand reaches in at the right edge. The setting is outdoors in bright light. The clothing and rudraksha mala are distinctive, and the page does not name him as present, so the identity is uncertain.
