A person in a deep maroon turban and rust-brown robe, wearing a gold-banded armlet and a heavy garland of pink and white flowers with rudraksha beads, sits on a red-cushioned ratha seat with hands pressed together in namaskar and a broad smile. Beside them, another man in orange-saffron clothing with a beaded necklace holds a tall red-and-white striped pole. Above, orange marigold and pink tassel decorations hang from the chariot canopy. Behind, a dense crowd of men in white and orange clothing walks along a street lined with orange and teal tent awnings and a small umbrella.
