A golden palanquin-style vehicle with a fringed golden canopy and a carved golden body is garlanded with red, white and yellow flower strings, with green tassels and bells. Inside the palanquin sits a deity murti decorated with garlands. A man in a white dhoti and shawl, with a bare upper body and a light-coloured cap, stands at the right beside a black speaker, while another figure in an orange-and-white outfit sits at the back of the palanquin. An orange cloth covers the trailer, and an orange-brick building stands in the background.2011-10-30October 04 20112011-10-04December 20 20102010-12-20Night procession on a paved path with a tractor-drawn gold-trimmed wagon carrying a large decorated deity murti of a multi-armed goddess with a red and white backdrop, garlanded with white and orange flowers.

A decorated wooden ratha cart with a colourful multi-panelled canopy in red, yellow and blue, lit from within, carries a deity murti seated on a red-draped platform. Around ten men stand in a line before the cart with hands folded in respect, most in white dhoti and shawl and others in orange-red cloth, some with bare upper bodies. A tree and dark sky sit behind; a standing person in white at left and a seated person in white at lower right complete the scene.2013-03-02Night photo of a festival procession on a dirt road.
