Night procession at a temple-side road. A decorated ratha-style cart with a colourful canopy, garlands and a framed deity murti is pulled by a red tractor driven by a man in an orange shirt, and the tractor is draped with purple and yellow marigold garlands. Two men in orange and saffron dhoti-style garments walk ahead, one in the centre with a rudraksha mala and bare chest, holding a folded hand gesture; several people in white, grey and green clothing stand with palms pressed together at the left, and a man in a grey jacket holds a decorated umbrella-style parasol on the right, with more parasols and torches visible. Temple signage is on the building behind. Whether the saffron-robed central man is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.

A young man in a red-orange dhoti and matching shawl, with a rudraksha mala around his neck, walks forward smiling in the centre. Behind him a priest in white holds a tall pole with a red, blue and yellow canopy, and two orange-robed devotees follow. A decorated tractor-drawn ratha carries a deity murti framed by lit lamps, flowers and a multicoloured spired canopy, with flaming torches on poles beside it. Women in white saris and salwar kameez and onlookers stand along the path, some with folded hands. The figure in the centre shows only a plain red-orange robe and mala, so identity is uncertain.2011-12-05March 02 20132013-03-02December 05 20112011-12-05February 09 20172017-02-09December 05 20112011-12-05October 12 20132013-10-12
