Outdoor temple procession on a dusty unpaved road in daylight under a clear blue sky, with a decorated ratha chariot with a golden-orange canopy at the far left. A large crowd of devotees walks in a long column, mostly dressed in white dhotis and saris, with several figures in saffron-orange robes near the center. Two large colourful umbrellas, one red-and-yellow and one green-and-red, are held over the central group. On the right, drummers in white dhotis play a drum, and a cameraman films beside them. Concrete apartment blocks and a hill appear in the background.
