Outdoor street scene at a roadside gateway. On the left, a gold-coloured decorated ratha or chariot-like shrine with carved pillars, red and orange floral garlands, and a deity murti with garlands. A man in an orange-saffron robe stands beside it, hands at his waist. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands at left, and a motorcycle carries riders in white shirts, one a young boy seated in front. Behind them is a grey stone gateway with a small flag and yellow crowd barriers along the road. A framed portrait is attached to the chariot's side, but the person in it cannot be read. Orange-saffron clothing and white ritual dress are visible.
