Night procession on a gravel road at a temple-style event. A brightly illuminated, multi-tiered ratha/chariot with lit orange and blue lights and a deity murti visible at its base is central, with a small umbrella-shaped canopy beside it. Dozens of people walk along both sides: on the left a line in white and orange clothes, and on the right devotees in saffron-orange dhotis and sarees with gold borders, some with raised hands in prayer. A man in a dark red-brown dhoti and garland stands near the chariot. Dark sky surrounds the scene.
