A photograph of a street procession in a town, taken in daylight with a pale sky. Two large decorated temple chariots (ratha) are pulled along the road, one in the foreground covered in colourful festoons, flower garlands and a tall finial on top, and a smaller ornate chariot behind it on the left. Dense crowds line both sides of the road, many people raising mobile phones to photograph the procession, and several wear white, red and orange clothing, including a man in a red cap in the front. A banner with Tamil script hangs on the right beside a tree and roadside buildings.
