Night procession with a golden ratha or palanquin carrying a figure seated on an ornate golden throne-like seat, surrounded by decorated canopies. Several ceremonial umbrellas with silver sequin fringes and pink-red poles tower over a dense crowd of devotees in the foreground, some raising their arms. Lights and glittering decorations fill the scene. The seated figure's appearance is not clearly discernible at this distance, so no identification is made.
