Outdoor photo of a decorated procession chariot with a gold-coloured canopied shrine holding a pair of deity murtis draped in garlands of white jasmine and maroon and purple flowers. Two priests in white dhotis and orange shoulder cloths stand on the platform: one holds a tray and a lamp toward the murtis, another leans in beside them. A third man in white, with an orange shawl and a video camera, films from the right. Fruit and flower offerings sit on a tray below, and a pink cloth covers the seated figure. Orange flags and framed portraits flank the steps. Portraits on the platform show smiling men, one in an orange turban and one in a white turban, but no one in the scene is clearly identifiable as a person, so the portraits are only depictions.
