A nighttime street procession in a town, with a golden ornate chariot-like ratha on the right, decorated with carved golden lions and figures and draped with garlands and red cloth. A seated figure in orange and red garments sits on the ratha beneath flower garlands. In front, a banner shows a portrait of a smiling woman in orange and the text of a padayatra. Men in white dhotis and shirts walk alongside, some holding decorated umbrellas and kalasha-style poles, while onlookers in shirts and saris crowd the roadside. Shop signs and advertising boards line the street behind them.
