A decorated ceremonial chariot with carved wooden pillars and a canopy, carrying deity murtis garlanded with yellow, orange and red flower garlands. A banner on the chariot's front shows a smiling man in an orange turban with hands folded in greeting, labelled as a Maha Kumbhabhishekam poster for a temple event dated 01.01.2007. A small framed portrait with a man in a white turban is mounted at the upper right of the chariot. Orange flags flank the chariot and a street stall signboard is visible behind it. No clearly identifiable person is physically present on the chariot beyond the deity figures, so the banner portrait and framed picture are depictions only.
