Dark silhouetted devotees crowd around and below the vehicle. Two long ceremonial staffs with ornamented tops are held up at the right edge. No clear a person candidate is visible on the palanquin; the figure is a deity murti.2013-03-02Night procession photographed in dark surroundings. A brightly lit ratha or palanquin-style float decorated with garlands, tassels, and illuminated deity murti figures sits at the centre, with a canopy above and strings of lights along its edges.
