Outdoor street procession on a sunny day in a town street lined with shops, palm trees and a streetlight. In the left foreground a large ornate golden ratha (chariot) with carved lion figures, colourful striped and patterned fabric banners and garlands hangs from its frame, with a blue truck railing in the lower foreground. A figure in orange robes stands on the chariot under a multicoloured umbrella, with a crowd of mostly white-clad devotees, many women in saris, marching behind holding up framed portraits and white placards. A large framed portrait of a smiling woman is displayed on the chariot's base. Banners and bunting stretch across the street above the crowd.
