Outdoor procession scene at a decorated float. Two gilded deity murtis of a male and female figure stand on the ratha, both with crowns, necklaces and trident in the man's hand, heavily garlanded with orange, yellow and red flowers and strings of white jasmine. A man in a white shirt and orange-red shawl stands in the foreground with his back to the camera, and a young man in a pink shirt reaches up toward the figures; a man in white shirt and a man in blue checked shirt stand nearby under a white-and-red canopy. Ornamental fringe and flower festoons decorate the float's roof.
