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.2010-11-19January 03 20162016-01-03March 02 20162016-03-02 +2 copiesMarch 02 20132013-03-02March 02 20132013-03-02February 17 20162016-02-17 +1 copiesMarch 02 20162016-03-02 +2 copiesA night procession moves along a dirt road past a lit temple-style chariot.
