A night procession on a dirt path, lit by a bright spotlight and a glowing illuminated chariot or ratha in the background. A figure in the centre wears a deep orange-red robe and a long garland of white and blue flowers, and stands beneath a dark ornate umbrella held aloft by an attendant. Beside and behind him, men and young boys in saffron and red dhotis and rudraksha malas walk alongside a crowd of onlookers, some in yellow kurtas and blue trousers, some holding up phones. The scene is dark except for the lights and glowing chariot.
