Outdoor photograph of a golden ratha (chariot) procession on a dusty road beside shops and a concrete flyover wall. The ornate gold-painted shrine on the chariot holds a deity murti of two seated figures, one with a trident and rudraksha mala. In front, a white-clad figure in saffron-orange robes with a red turban sits on a raised platform, hands raised in blessing, with a garland. Drummers in white and a man in a pink shirt stand near the platform. Dense crowds of men in white shirts and dhotis surround the chariot, with auto-rickshaws and trucks visible behind. Several figures are visible; crowd counts are approximate.
