A photograph of a decorated wooden chariot displayed indoors in a dim hall, with a painted wooden figure of a seated deity holding a reins/lead in the front. The painted figure wears a red crown, green and orange garments and ornaments, and is seated on a painted carriage pulled by two white painted horses with red saddle cloths. The canopy above is orange-yellow fabric with a patterned blue and red border and bright tassels, and the carriage pillars are painted with lotus and animal motifs. Behind it, a wooden shrine-like structure and temple pillars are visible, and a few people stand in the background at the left. The chariot is a ratha model rather than a living person.
