Night procession on a dirt road lit by a bright floodlight. Saffron-robed men carrying tall silver-topped staffs and long spears walk in front, with a bare-chested man at left holding a staff. Behind them, a vehicle with a canopy and a decorated golden palanquin or ratha carries a large deity murti or ornate figure framed by a golden arch. Devotees in white dhotis and dark clothing follow along the road, with a tree and a red brick wall in the background.

Night procession photographed from behind a crowd of devotees in light-coloured clothing walking along a dark dirt path. At centre a brightly illuminated ratha or chariot decorated with yellow, red and gold drapery and strings of lights stands under a white-lit arch wrapped in twisted lights. Flag poles and green fairy lights line the open ground, and a white canopy shelters the area to the right. Many people are visible, mostly partially in silhouette.

A nighttime photograph of a dirt road lined with dark foliage and a low orange wall on the left. A brightly decorated palanquin or ratha shrine, lit with warm lamps and draped in colourful garlands and fabric, is carried in the distance along the road. Several people in white clothing walk alongside it, and one person in the foreground stands at the roadside holding a lit lamp that glows against the dark. Smoke or haze drifts through the scene, and a street lamp is visible at the top left.

A night procession at a temple-style festival vehicle, a decorated palanquin or ratha lit with warm orange lamps and fairy lights, with a deity murti visible inside its canopy. Several dozen darkened figures walk and stand around it in a dimly lit outdoor courtyard, some in white clothing. A lantern glows at left and a building wall stands behind. Few individual faces are clear, and no a person candidate is distinguishable in the scene.
