A dusk or sunrise scene on an open dirt field with a low red boundary wall behind it. A flatbed cart with a decorated canopy, a red and gold umbrella-style top and a deity murti or figure under it sits at right, with figures in orange or red clothing beside it. A small red flag flies on a pole at right, and a plain chair stands on the left of the field. The sun glows low on the left against a pale sky, casting lens flare.
