Night procession at a temple street: a golden palanquin (ratha) carrying a deity murti decorated with red and white garlands and floral festoons is being pulled by a rope. Several men push and pull the cart; one bare-chested man in white dhoti with a saffron cloth, one in a red shirt, and men in white shirts help move it. Behind, a second richly decorated, colourful canopied palanquin with garlands is visible. A temple wall with a painted sign reading Sri Anandeshwara stands at left. Numerous people are partly visible. No clearly identifiable distinctive a person candidate is visible among the pullers.
