Night photograph of a crowd of devotees in white clothes with red-orange sashes gathered along a dirt path near a brightly lit, white-and-yellow vehicle or float with a glass panel. Floodlights illuminate the scene. Several people hold up hands in greeting or prayer, and a man in the foreground wears a white shirt. One person on the left carries a tall staff with a decorative top, and others wear orange-red garlands. The procession atmosphere suggests a ratha or chariot movement, though no a person candidate is clearly identifiable from appearance.2013-05-27May 27 20132013-05-27May 27 20132013-05-27May 27 20132013-05-27May 27 20132013-05-27A dense nighttime crowd of devotees gathers in a procession scene, many in white kurtas and shirts with red or red-orange shawls and orange satsang lanyards.
