A procession on a dusty road with two white horses in red harnesses pulling a silver chariot decorated with yellow, blue and green balloons. A seated figure on the chariot wears a garland and a crown-like headdress. Several colourful umbrellas with fringed edges and blue-and-yellow emblems are held aloft by people in white dhotis and white kurtas, some with yellow or orange shawls. A young man in a lavender shirt and dark trousers walks at the horses' heads. Devotees in white and blue kurtas line the road on the right, clapping, and a woman in an orange sari stands beside the chariot. Orange flags flutter in the background under a bright sky.
