Night outdoor festival scene on a sandy open ground lit by a bright floodlight. Several white-clad men in dhotis and white shirts stand near a rope barrier, and a few men in brown or maroon garments perform beside them. A large standing dark figure, possibly a statue, rises at the centre. Behind the rope, a crowd of people in white stands under a tent canopy, with illuminated ornate golden processional chariots or ratha decorated with lights and small deity murti at the right. Strings of coloured lights hang along the tent edges.
