A procession on a decorated palanquin in saffron. A bearded man in an orange-saffron wrap and multiple rudraksha malas, with orange tilak on his forehead, raises one hand while seated on a silver-framed chair beneath a maroon embroidered canopy. The canopy is wreathed with red roses, pink flowers, green leaves and blue and yellow blossoms. Around the platform, bare-chested and saffron-clad attendants hold silver staffs, and a white yak-tail fly whisk appears at lower left. An orange flag hangs at left and pink temple walls with string lights stand behind. Several bystanders are visible at the edges.
