A festive street procession with a white convertible car at the centre, its bonnet draped in a long garland of white flowers and multicoloured blossoms, and a number plate reading KA..6. A man in the driver's seat wears dark clothing and sits beside a figure in white in the back. Crowds of devotees, many in saffron, orange and white dhotis and shawls, walk around the car holding up large colourful umbrellas in green, red, yellow, blue and pink. A woman in a yellow sari carries a tray with a red cloth. Priests in white dhotis with gold borders and rudraksha malas stand at the right, and women wear garlands and gold ornaments. The setting is a sunlit dirt road lined with trees, with red flags visible. The scene suggests a ceremonial procession, ratha-style escort, with the car as the focal vehicle.
