At centre, an ornate illuminated palanquin or ratha topped by a fringed, multicoloured canopy carries a deity murti decorated with flower garlands. Around it, men in white dhotis and white kurtas wear orange-red shawls over their shoulders, several holding drums or ritual objects. A bald man in the foreground wears a white outfit and orange shawl. On the left, a woman in a leopard-print top and orange cloth stands among onlookers. A few devotees on the right wear white and orange, with forehead markings. Trees and orange walls frame the scene.
