Outdoor festival procession in shallow water beside a red and white tiled wall. A standing man in a loose orange-saffron robe, with short dark hair, extends his right arm and smiles, while another bearded man in orange stands behind him. The figure in the foreground rides a golden palanquin-style ratha/chariot with a gilded canopy and white and yellow jasmine and marigold garlands. A man in an orange shirt stands at the chariot's edge holding a wooden pole, and a crowd of people in the water and along the edges watch and wave. Bystanders are visible wading and standing in the water.
