A man in white at the left holds up a framed portrait of a bearded figure with white hair and a dark jacket, and a man in orange-saffron garment stands at the chariot's side touching its base. Behind the chariot a line of saffron-robed devotees walks along the road. A red curtain hangs inside the chariot's open front, and a large round mirror is mounted on its side. Printed panels on the chariot's lower side show multiple small photographs with captions.
