Night-time outdoor festival scene on a decorated ratha or chariot. A seated monk in orange robes and a patterned conical cap, with a beaded mala around his neck, receives offerings: a young girl in white with a yellow ribbon holds a brass plate of bananas and other fruit toward him, and a silver puja tray with a lit oil lamp, a small bowl and a kalasha sits on the orange cloth before him. Behind him, colourful cloth banners with bird and floral motifs and a blue satin canopy draped with marigold garlands frame the scene. On the left, several devotees stand in white dhotis and orange-red shawls, and women in saris, including yellow and purple, watch in the dark background.
