Night procession photographed from a raised vehicle decorated with a gold-and-red palanquin style seat, red velvet cushions, and colourful tassels in yellow, pink, purple and turquoise. A bare arm raised in blessing wears rings and a rudraksha bracelet, while the rider is largely out of frame. Garlands of orange and white flowers hang from the structure. Below, a dense crowd moves along a street lit by warm lamps, with many saffron and orange flags held aloft and people in white and orange clothing. Hazy night sky and illuminated stalls line the roadway.
