Night procession photograph of an ornate golden palanquin or ratha decorated with pink, white and gold garlands, hanging gold and multicoloured tassels, and a teal-fringed orange canopy umbrella. Seated on the palanquin is a figure with dark hair and a garland of flowers, appearing to be a deity murti rather than a living person, lit by a bright lamp. Several garlands drape the carriage front, and a few partially visible people stand at the lower right edge in the dark. The scene is a festival procession at night.
