Outdoor scene at a dusty village ground beside a tree-lined road, with a large ornate golden ratha (chariot) on the right carrying deity murtis under a decorated canopy, and a row of framed posters along its base. Several dozen people in white dhotis and white shirts, some in saris with orange and green tones, stand and sit in a semicircle; a woman in an orange blouse and green skirt stands at centre-right facing the chariot while others sit on mats near puja offerings. A thatched shelter and a white van and red bus appear behind the crowd. The page indicates a Ratha Yatra procession for deities of Sri Nithyanandeshwara and Nithyanandeshwari, but no a person figure is clearly distinguishable from appearance in this frame.
