Outdoor procession on a dusty open road with a decorated ratha chariot at centre, its canopy and wheels draped in yellow and orange flowers, tassels and garlands, carrying a seated deity murti. Many devotees in white dhotis, white kurtas and white saris, some with orange and yellow shawls, walk beside it and follow a black-and-white spotted bull on the right. A white bus with blue lettering is parked behind, and a speaker stack stands at the right edge beside a large billboard. Field and trees lie in the hazy background.
