A night procession on a dirt road past a tractor with a decorated trailer. A large colourful canopied chariot (ratha) with a deity murti inside is lit with lamps, flanked by orange flags. A man in a white dhoti with bare, ash-smeared upper body raises his hand in blessing toward the chariot. Nearby, a man in a white shirt and beige trousers walks beside a young boy in a checked shirt, and a line of women and girls in red garments with white-painted faces walk alongside. A small shrine structure stands at right.
