At center, a brightly lit palanquin or ratha glows orange with flames or lamps, with figures in white dhotis standing on and beside it. Shop fronts with green and white facades, strings of lights, and a temple gopuram with sculpted figures line the right side. A bright street lamp glares at upper left.
