Night procession at a temple-style event. A golden ornate vahana/ratha with a carved golden head and tail, draped in pink, white and yellow garlands and hanging bells, moves forward with a blue-and-orange canopy overhead. A figure standing on the golden vehicle wears a red and gold garland and holds a tall staff, with an orange-and-yellow cloth draped over the shoulders. Two people in white and saffron clothing hold up a lamp and a phone camera near the vehicle. Several devotees in white and yellow line the procession, and flaming torches and ceremonial staffs are visible in the foreground under warm lights.
