Night photograph of a temple procession vehicle, the ratha, decorated with dense garlands of yellow, orange, red and green flowers and draped with a purple brocade cloth with gold motifs. A polished silver bull figure, the nandi, stands at the left side, adorned with green lights and a flower garland. Behind it, a pink and gold canopy with heart-shaped motifs and a string of electric bulbs rises on a pole. Two men in white and striped shirts, one at left in a white shirt and one at right in a checked shirt, steady the vehicle and hold its poles. The scene is lit by bulbs and the vehicle's gleaming silver surfaces.
