Night procession on a decorated ratha chariot with a red canopy overhead. Two people in ornate gold crowns sit on the platform: the left one wears a gold crown and a white flower garland with a red sash, smiling; the right one wears a larger gold crown and red-orange robes and is seated behind a bank of marigold and mixed flower garlands. A man in dark clothing stands at the left edge handling the structure. Hanging garlands, pink and green tassels and silver trident-like rods line the chariot, and a bright light glows at the top.
