Night procession at a temple with a ceremonial palanquin-like ratha behind the crowd. In the foreground, a man with long swept-back dark hair and a gold necklace of ornaments wears saffron-orange robes with a gold border and smiles while walking. Beside him, a bald man in orange robes with a rudraksha-style mala and gold beaded necklace walks forward. Behind them, many people in white dhotis and white shirts walk in procession, some with hands folded, and a woman in a teal sari stands at left. The ornate canopy above the palanquin has red, green and gold floral decoration, and tall festival poles with coloured streamers frame the scene. The foreground man's cues (long hair, saffron clothing, ornate beaded necklace) match the a person description, though the identification is uncertain.2010-11-21November 20 20102010-11-20November 21 20102010-11-21Night procession on a paved path lit by street lamps and a glowing palanquin.
