Outdoor procession at sunset on a decorated ratha or chariot. A central man wears a gold ornate crown, a dark maroon garment, a rudraksha mala, long layered gold ceremonial necklaces and a large floral garland of red and white flowers, with a sunburst-style silver ornament at his waist. Behind him a second man in a dark wrap and a gold-tasselled ceremonial pole stand against the chariot, and a gold-tipped carved pillar and ornate gold finials frame the scene. Multicoloured tassels and garlands hang from the canopy, and a gravel road lies in the background.
