A seated figure in orange robes with a white flower garland sits on a golden throne at the centre, with a trident-shaped finial on the right. A crowd of people in white dhotis and kurtas, some wearing rudraksha malas and ID lanyards, walk around the cart; a figure in orange sits in the lower right foreground. Dusty ground, trees and a yellow-and-orange flag appear behind.

Outdoor festival procession on a dusty ground under bright sunshine. A ratha-style chariot decorated with marigold garlands and yellow flower strings carries a seated figure under a rounded canopy. In the foreground a shaved-headed man in saffron-orange robes with a gold armlet raises a metal vessel and pours or offers from it toward the chariot. Beside him a woman in a brown sari with folded hands stands among other devotees. On the right a man in a checked short-sleeved shirt walks near a tall gold-topped umbrella with a striped red, green and orange canopy, held by a white-clad man with a grey beard and rudraksha mala. Other people in white shirts and white dhotis stand nearby, and a tiered building stands behind.

A seated figure in an orange robe and crown sits on the chariot, shaded by ornate multicoloured parasols. Around it, men in white kurtas and dhotis with rudraksha malas walk and pull or guide the ratha, while a bald man in a white shirt gestures and a man in orange robes with long swept-back hair, a gold necklace and an orange shawl stands at right. The sky is pale and open, with a white bus behind the parasols. The scene reads as a temple ratha procession.
