Night procession photograph of an illuminated golden chariot (ratha) with a tiered, lit superstructure decorated with red and white garlands and warm lamps, and a deity murti seated on a red cushion inside its shrine. Beside it, a second decorated palanquin-style float carries a gilded deity figure under a striped canopy (umbrella) with an ornate golden arch behind. Several dark silhouettes of people, including ones holding tall poles, stand in the foreground on the dark ground, and a flaming torch is visible at left. The scene is lit only by the lamps and the chariot lights.
