Night photo of a decorated temple chariot on a dirt road, carried on a flatbed trailer pulled by a red Massey Ferguson tractor with a green canopy. The chariot is a colourful multi-tiered structure with orange and yellow fringed tiers, painted panels and tall patterned pillars, and a central shrine garlanded with yellow and orange marigold garlands, illuminated from within. A tractor driver in a white checked shirt sits at the wheel, with another person beside him on the trailer. A standing man in a white T-shirt and grey trousers looks on at right. A sign behind the chariot shows a printed list with the title Sri Anandeshwara. The scene suggests a procession, though the image only shows the chariot in motion on the road.
