A night photograph of a deity murti seated on an ornate processional chariot during a procession. The image is framed by heavy embossed silver-toned metal panels with floral relief work. The murti wears a silver crown, a red and gold sari-like garment, and layered gold necklaces, and holds a bow and arrow. It is decorated with dense garlands of white, yellow, red and magenta flowers, with a gold-and-black tiered umbrella-like ornament and fringed silk hangings in orange, green, blue and pink nearby. No people are visible, so the subject is the deity murti on the ratha.
