Night procession at a decorated golden ratha or chariot shrine, lit with string lights. A seated figure in orange-red clothing with rudraksha mala and long garlands sits centrally beneath a golden sunburst-style arch, holding a staff, while golden figures and a deity murti fill the upper niches. Two people in red and orange robes stand at the base, and a red and gold umbrella or canopy occupies the left foreground. The scene evokes a religious procession.
