A gilded palanquin-style ratha with tassels and a fringed blue canopy stands on a platform near loudspeakers. A crowd of men in white dhotis and orange-red cloth fills the sandy ground, and a woman in a red shawl with rudraksha beads and a red bindi stands in the foreground. Other figures wear knit caps, saffron scarves and a white turban, and a striped umbrella is visible. Mood is busy and ceremonial.
