A festival procession on a flower-decorated ratha, a wheeled chariot draped in marigold garlands in yellow, white and red, with hanging brass bells and multicoloured tassels. A figure standing on the chariot wears an orange-red garment, rudraksha-style beads and a gold headdress, and raises a hand in blessing. Crowds of devotees in white and orange clothing walk along the procession, a photographer holds a camera up at the right edge, and leafy trees and a striped umbrella frame the scene.
