In the centre, an ornate golden ratha (chariot) with a red-and-gold canopy and decorated gold figures stands, with a second decorated float behind it. A blue tractor with a trailer stands at right. Banners and a stage with lighting rigs frame the grounds, with a small portrait banner visible at left.
