A festival procession on a decorated ratha-style chariot with a golden canopy hung with gold bells, tassels in green, purple, pink and teal, and marigold garlands. A man in a maroon-brown robe with a red-and-orange turban, a white and red flower garland and gold necklaces sits on a red velvet throne and raises one hand in a wave. Beside him, a bald man in orange-brown robes and a rudraksha-style necklace stands at the left edge of the chariot. A cameraman films from the right, and a large crowd lines the road behind under green tents and flags.
