Night procession on a road, photographed from the side. At left, a lit illuminated float or ratha carries a glowing circular halo with a figure at its centre, and a uniformed man in khaki stands near it. Behind, a crowd of people in white dhotis and white kurtas walks past, some holding umbrellas and drums. A large triangular golden-tinted canopy or decorated structure is raised above the crowd on the right, and street lamps glow in the background. The image is dark and blurred.
