A crowded outdoor procession scene with devotees pressing forward around a decorated ratha or chariot. A man in a light blue checked vest over a white kurta, with a tilak on his forehead, leans in with both arms outstretched toward the decorated chariot. Around him, men in white dhotis and saffron-coloured shawls, some holding mobile phones, reach forward. Behind the chariot, a bare-chested man wears a rudraksha mala. Garlands of white and red flowers hang from a gilded structure, marigold petals and green leaves lie on the ground, and yellow and red umbrellas and banners fill the background.
