A street procession on a paved road lined with trees and a distant hill range. Central is a decorated golden-yellow ratha/chariot topped with a striped canopy, multicolored tassel strands and marigold garlands. Several women in maroon and cream saris stand on the chariot, some holding brass lamps, while men in white dhotis and orange turbans walk alongside and pull ropes. A large portrait banner hangs in the background, and a red flag flies beside the chariot. Many people in white shirts and dhotis fill the road and sidewalk. Bystanders watch from the roadside; a devotee in an orange turban with white tilak is visible at lower right.
