Outdoor evening procession at dusk. A woman in a white sari with a red-bordered edge stands on a dark granite platform, holding a lit oil lamp flame in both hands toward a large black stone deity murti at left, adorned with garlands. Behind her a crowd of men in white dhotis and shirts stands with hands folded in prayer. A decorated ratha/chariot with gold and colourful drapery, bells and tassels is pulled by a red tractor, carrying a gold-clad figure seated on the cart. A illuminated ornate temple gopuram-style structure glows in the background, with a tent and red wall behind.
