A standing man in a rust-orange dhoti and shawl, wearing a pink flower garland, a gold necklace and a crown, stands on the chariot beside a red cushioned seat. Behind him, several devotees in white and orange clothing crowd the platform, and a silver elephant-style vehicle with a painted eye motif is at the right edge. A yellow cloth lies over the platform. Whether the standing man is a person cannot be determined from appearance here, as his face is not clearly enough distinguishable and the caption alone is insufficient.2017-03-13March 13 20172017-03-13 +1 copiesMarch 13 20172017-03-13March 13 20172017-03-13Night procession scene.
