Outdoors under a clear blue sky among tall coconut palms, two red Mahindra tractors pull decorated flatbed trailers, each carrying a richly adorned deity murti or image under a small umbrella-like canopy. The murtis are draped in yellow and gold cloth with garlands of marigolds, and the trailers are wrapped in yellow and marigold garlands. Red tractors have marigold garlands tied to their front grilles and bumpers. Behind them stand a red-framed metal structure and a red wall, with a small roadside shelter to the left where a few people sit. Sand is piled at the right edge. The scene suggests a festival procession or ratha-style float, with no visible a person figure.2016-12-07Outdoor photo of two decorated processional vehicles parked on a paved courtyard beneath tall coconut palms.
