The reaction between citric acid and potassium permanganate involves a redox process. Here’s the chemical equation described in words:

Potassium permanganate reacts with citric acid in an acidic medium. In this reaction:

Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) acts as a strong oxidizing agent.
Citric acid (C6H8O7) is oxidized.
The permanganate ion (MnO4-) is reduced to manganese(II) ion (Mn2+).
The reaction produces water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2).
In words, the reaction can be expressed as follows:

Potassium permanganate reacts with citric acid in the presence of an acid to produce manganese(II) ions, carbon dioxide, water, and potassium ions.

The exact balanced chemical equation for the reaction depends on the stoichiometry and the acidic medium used, but the general idea remains as above. If you need the balanced equation, I can provide it with further details.
