A festival procession on a dirt path beside a green hedge and a red brick wall. A golden palanquin-style ratha with a fringed canopy, kalasha finials, and colourful garlands and cloth hangings is carried forward, with an ornate deity murti visible on it. Crowds walk alongside, many in white dhotis and white saris, while others wear saffron or maroon clothing. Several people carry red-and-orange flags on poles. A man in a grey shirt in the foreground looks down at a phone, and a woman in an orange top with a black bag stands at the right edge. No individual wearing distinctive a person cues is clearly identifiable, so the a person field is unsure.
