Photograph taken in a dim, unfinished room with exposed concrete-block walls. A wooden ratha-style chariot with large spoked golden wheels and carved panels stands on the right. In the foreground, a bare-shouldered man with a rudraksha mala and white dhoti with green border faces the chariot; a woman in a white top with a green cloth lifts a hand toward it, and another person in white stands behind. A figure in a brown robe with a headdress stands near the centre. A woman in a red sari with beads sits at left beside a metal vessel. Several people are visible, watching the chariot.
