A photograph of a festival procession on a golden ratha (chariot) decorated with white and orange flower garlands and long red, green, blue and yellow tassels. A seated figure in a red garment and red flower garland sits under a multicoloured canopy with a painted bird motif, flanked by a gold ceremonial fan and a silver trident-topped staff. In the foreground a partially visible man looks upward. The figure's appearance is uncertain, so the chariot occupant is described by role as a seated person in procession.
