Smoke rises from incense or fire near the front of the chariot. Devotees in white dhotis and white saris walk alongside, many with hands folded in prayer, while a few women wear orange and green saris. Floodlit buildings and decorative lights stretch in the background. The crowd appears to be roughly several dozen people.
