Night photograph of a festival procession. A small golden metal murti of a deity, wearing an orange-red turban, layered gold and pearl necklaces, and a garland of yellow and red flowers, is seated on a decorated vehicle lit with coloured fairy lights. In front, a red and black horse-shaped figure glows with string lights. Behind, a gold embroidered canopy with red fringe is visible. A partly visible person in a grey wrap stands at the left edge, reaching toward the figure. No clearly visible face of a physical a person candidate is shown; the lit murti is a statue.

Night photograph of a processional vehicle decorated with gold-toned carved metal and a golden canopy above. A small figure in a red turban and ornate red-and-gold embroidered garment sits in the vehicle, adorned with a white beaded necklace and draped with yellow and red marigold garlands. Fairy lights in purple and red illuminate the vehicle and a dark animal-shaped element in the foreground. The statue-like figure appears to be a deity murti carried in procession rather than a living person, so no in-person presence is recorded. Dark background.2016-12-06December 06 20162016-12-06December 06 20162016-12-06A night procession at a decorated palanquin, lit by warm lamps and bordered by flower garlands in orange and yellow. A standing figure in the central frame wears an orange turban and ornate garland, appearing to be a person on the palanquin, with appearance-based cues (turban and garlanded ornaments) but the face is too dark and small to confirm identity. Gold ceremonial umbrellas and dark silhouettes of onlookers surround the scene. Strings of marigolds and tassels hang from the golden carriage structure.2013-01-01December 06 20162016-12-06May 31 20182018-05-31 +1 copiesApril 24 20132013-04-24March 02 20162016-03-02 +3 copiesA night procession photographed in low light.
