Outdoor temple scene in bright daylight with palm trees and a sandy ground. A single person in an orange saffron wrap, seen from behind, stands barefoot facing a decorated wooden ratha-style cart carrying a deity murti draped with marigold garlands and a red garland. The cart has colourful striped and patterned hangings with orange fringes. Nearby stand a stone Nandi bull on an orange plinth and several dark stone figures. A small brazier smokes at the right, and a rangoli of white dots lies on the ground. The scene suggests a pada puja before a procession.
