Night procession on a street in front of a multi-storey building with lit windows and air conditioning units. At centre, a decorated palanquin or ratha topped with a canopy is hung with multicoloured garlands and carried forward by a crowd. Several devotees in light, dusty clothes stand around it, some holding lit torches or lamps. Strings of coloured lights line the distance. The clothing and faces are largely in shadow, and no figure is clearly identifiable as a person, so the a person field is set to unsure.
