Night street procession in a busy Indian town. A large illuminated chariot carrying a deity murti under a decorated canopy moves down the lane, with robed figures seated on its platform. In the foreground, a man with long matted hair and a flower garland on his head, wearing a red-brown cloth and gold chain, walks in the crowd. Beside him a figure in saffron-orange cloth carries a brass kalasha-like vessel. Men in white dhotis and orange shawls walk among devotees, with shops lit by coloured lights along the street. The scene shows a temple ratha procession with devotees walking alongside.

On the right, a long-haired figure in a yellow shawl and a red-and-white flower garland stands behind a white table laden with flowers and offerings, touching the head of a kneeling devotee. Nearby, a man in red and gold cloth wears a rudraksha-style mala, and a woman in a green and maroon sari sits at the lower edge. Many men in white dhotis and shirts fill the background, and a man in an orange shirt stands at left.

Night procession at an outdoor temple-like setting with a dense crowd of devotees pressing forward along a lane lit by oil lamps and flaming torches. In the foreground, a bald elderly man in white dhoti with a bare upper body stands beside a man in grey shirt with palms pressed together in anjali, and another man in a white vest with folded hands. Behind them a man in saffron-orange robes walks among the crowd, and a woman in a red sari and women in orange and pink garments stand nearby. On the right, a gold-plated palanquin or ratha with a golden canopy and ornamental carvings, topped by a striped multicolour umbrella with tassels, is carried past. Blue and red draped cloth lines the left side and a sign is partly visible at the far left.

Night outdoor event photographed from the side. A figure with long dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron garment with gold bangles and a gold necklace, sits on a cushioned seat in front of a large floral arrangement of yellow, red and white flowers, holding a tray of offerings. A man in a white shirt holds a wicker basket of fruit beside them. Below, a seated man in orange with a shaved head and rudraksha mala looks up; the crowd is largely in white shirts and dhotis, some with raised hands. Stage lights, a tower fan and bunting are visible. The figure's appearance shows several saffron and ornamental cues, so this is a person candidate seated at the front.
