Hindu procession with chariot of the gods

You can see an approx. 8-10 metre high temple chariot surrounded by numerous people. There are 4 light-coloured wooden horses in front of the temple chariot and large demonic-looking masks on the sides of the chariot. Two people are standing on the chariot, each carrying a frond made of yak tail hair. A man sits between the frond bearers and holds the reins of the horses. The people surrounding the chariot are Vishnuites, recognisable by the vertical stripes on their foreheads. In the background are trees and a wall. It is unclear which statues of the gods are being driven by the chariot.
