Outdoor street ritual on a paved road beside houses. A pickup truck bed is fitted with a white and yellow canopy hung with red ornaments and marigold garlands, and a large framed portrait on the left shows a smiling figure in a red-orange turban, orange shawl and rudraksha malas, with a gold necklace. Before it stands a white-covered altar with fruit, red flowers and a small brass vessel. Three women and one man stand at the truck: a woman in a sheer beige headscarf and a man in white shirt tend a brass tray, a woman in a yellow saree with hands pressed in anjali watches, and a girl in a cream outfit with a brass bell hangs over the tailgate. a person appears only as the portrait; the scene shows a rathotsavam-style procession with a decorated vehicle, offerings and devotees.
