Night procession on a paved road. A decorated golden ratha/chariot with lit panels and a deity image sits in the background, illuminated by bright lights. In the foreground, a man in a white dhoti with gold borders and a bare upper body walks with his arm around another man in white dhoti with gold border. To the left, a man in a red umbrella-shaped canopy area holds a red parasol and wears orange clothing. Several people in saffron/orange cloths walk along the road, including a few dancing near a small wheeled cart decorated with orange and white flowers. A visible vehicle number plate reads KA05 with digits, and the scene is lit by a warm pink-tinged glow.
