A festival procession on a golden ratha chariot with an ornate gold-framed canopy. A decorated deity murti sits on a gold seat draped in golden cloth, adorned with marigold and red flower garlands and a jewelled necklace, under a multicoloured fringed parasol. In the foreground a bare-chested priest in a white dhoti with a gold border bends forward, tending an oil lamp and offerings on the chariot platform. A woman in a pink sari sits at the left edge, and a man in a white shirt sits at the right near a vehicle. Bright overexposed sky and white tent fabric surround the scene.
