A tall tiered golden shrine-tower with carved celestial figures and warm lamps rises above a flat golden platform. Inside the shrine, a deity murti in red and gold draped garments sits on a throne framed by a golden arch, with garlands of red, orange, green and white flowers hanging on the pillars. Golden horses with lit harness are attached at the front. Standing at the platform are golden statues of attendant figures, and a robed man in white dhoti and a female figure in pale clothing stand near the shrine. A red building and a tractor appear at the edge of the scene.2015-09-24February 09 20172017-02-09 +1 copiesOctober 03 20142014-10-03February 09 20172017-02-09October 03 20142014-10-03A night procession of a golden ratha chariot, brightly lit with fairy lights and hung with multicoloured garland festoons.
