A festival procession on a sunlit road during the Jayanti Brahmotsavam celebrations. A decorated chariot with a white and silver ornamented body and a small umbrella canopy is drawn by white horses with gold-trimmed harness. Balloons in yellow, green, blue and pink are tied to the chariot, and a figure sits under the canopy. Orange and red flags on poles and several multicoloured ceremonial umbrellas with tasselled fringes accompany it. Devotees in white shirts and dhotis walk alongside and crowd the road, several raising hands in greeting. Blue sky and a distant tree line form the background.
