A large golden ornamental chariot (ratha) stands on a dirt ground under a cloudy sky. It has a tiered canopy with winged cherub figures at the corners, golden pillars, and multicolored tassel and striped cloth hangings. Two golden horses are harnessed at the front, and golden standing female figures flank the platform. A pink-faced deity murti sits within the chariot near the horses. Scaffolding, a truck and palm trees appear in the background. No people are visible.
