Night photograph of an illuminated golden temple-style chariot (ratha) on a tractor, lit by many lights and decorated with colourful garlands and painted panels. Horse figures flank the front of the chariot, and a small deity murti sits on the platform above the driver. A man in a checked shirt drives the tractor. To the right, robed attendants in red and saffron walk beside the procession, one holding a silver trident (trishul) staff, and a red tasselled umbrella appears at the right edge. Orange-robed figures stand at the left. The scene suggests a temple procession at night.
