A young man in a red-orange dhoti and matching shawl, with a rudraksha mala around his neck, walks forward smiling in the centre. Behind him a priest in white holds a tall pole with a red, blue and yellow canopy, and two orange-robed devotees follow. A decorated tractor-drawn ratha carries a deity murti framed by lit lamps, flowers and a multicoloured spired canopy, with flaming torches on poles beside it. Women in white saris and salwar kameez and onlookers stand along the path, some with folded hands. The figure in the centre shows only a plain red-orange robe and mala, so identity is uncertain.2011-12-05February 17 20162016-02-17 +1 copiesJanuary 01 20142014-01-01January 03 20162016-01-03February 17 20162016-02-17 +1 copiesJanuary 13 20152015-01-13April 26 20122012-04-26Night procession on a grassy field lit by torches and headlights.
