A person in an orange saffron robe with a white jasmine and red flower garland stands beside a large yellow ratha or chariot, looking toward its carved panels. The chariot has ornate relief carvings of floral scrolls, sunflower-like rosettes, and figures. Behind it stands a white stone pillar with carved medallions and a figure, beneath a wooden roof, with a green-framed iron gate and a small red sign at the right. Trees and a building are in the background, and the figure's long dark hair falls past the shoulders.

A man in a saffron-orange robe with a white and red flower garland stands barefoot on the wooden steps of a decorated ratha, a temple chariot.
