Night procession at an outdoor ground with two illuminated temple chariots (ratha) decorated with lights, flower garlands and yellow and green draping. The tall chariot on the right is lit in green and gold with carved horse figures and a tiered roof, and a figure sits under its canopy. A red tractor pulls a chariot in the middle, and a man in a white dhoti and shirt walks beside it. Devotees in white and saffron-toned clothing, including a woman in a red-and-gold sari, stand along the edges watching. A decorated umbrella is visible at the far left.
