Outdoor festival procession on a dirt road. Two white horses in red and black harness, draped with white and gold cloth, pull a silver ornate chariot decorated with yellow, blue and green balloons. A figure seated on the chariot wears an orange robe, a white turban, a floral garland and holds a trident (trishul) under a red and yellow canopy. Large multicoloured parasols with tassels and orange flags line the procession. Men in pink shirt and jeans, and in blue kurta and white trousers, walk alongside, guiding the horses and carrying parasols. Bright sunlight, sandals, dusty ground.
