A photograph at dusk of a gilded, ornately carved ratha chariot standing on a seaside road, with a golden canopy supported by carved pillars and a dome-shaped top. Inside the shrine, a deity murti is decorated with yellow and white garlands, and a small light glows at the front of the chariot. Red flags flank the structure. Several people stand near the chariot in saris, salwar kameez and shirts, while others ride motorcycles and bicycles along the road, with the sea and beach behind.
