Night street procession in a busy town, with a large crowd of devotees filling the road. Many people in saris, shawls and dhotis walk towards an illuminated ornate temple chariot, its tall tiered canopy lit with warm lights and glowing in the distance. On the left, a tree and a decorated float are covered in strings of lights, and shopfronts line both sides of the street. Many people in the foreground wear shawls and layered clothing, some in saffron and yellow tones. A person on the far right of the frame holds up a phone.

Night procession on a crowded street lined with multi-storey buildings and shopfronts, with many people gathered and moving along the roadway. In the foreground, a large illuminated temple chariot with glowing lights stands at left beside a shop with red and green signage, and a second brightly lit, ornate chariot or ratha with a tiered golden canopy glows in the distance at centre.
