At centre, a decorated chariot (ratha) with a silver canopy and garlands of marigolds in rainbow colours carries a seated man in orange-red robes with a gold necklace and a garland, holding a staff, with a ceremonial figure beside him. Horses with flower decorations pull the chariot. Crowds of devotees surround it, many in red and orange clothing, some raising hands. A bus with 'Siddaganga' on its front and a festive light display are visible in the background. Whether the seated man is a person cannot be established from appearance alone.
