Several men in traditional dhotis, one bare-chested with a white cloth over his shoulder and another in a white vest, pull the chariot with thick ropes and wooden poles. Onlookers in white shirts and a man in a green lungi stand along the roadside, and a person holds up a phone to film. Shops with signboards line the street, and a green tarpaulin hangs on a building at the right.
