Night photograph of an illuminated temple chariot (ratha) with a tall multi-tiered gold-and-red canopy strung with coloured fairy lights. Inside the shrine niche sits a gold-clad deity murti adorned with garlands and a large beaded necklace. Gold figures of a seated four-armed deity and standing attendants decorate the cart's base, flanked by rearing horse sculptures outlined in white lights. A red Massey Ferguson tractor is parked in front, pulling or positioned beside the chariot, with a dark silhouette of a driver visible. Hanging tassels of red, yellow, green and white flowers frame the sides. No a person candidate is visible; the figures are statues and the scene has no clearly visible people.
