Night aerial view of a large procession on a paved courtyard. A brightly lit, ornate palanquin or ratha decorated with gold, red and white draping and an umbrella-like canopy is pulled by a red tractor driven by a man in white. Crowds of men in white dhotis and shirts, some in orange garments, line the road and walk alongside, many holding long poles or instruments. Red brick buildings, trees and a lit banner-like structure frame the scene. A lit tractor and a parked vehicle sit near the cart. The crowd is large and mostly seated or standing along the edges.
