A night procession at an outdoor ground lit by string lights and floodlights. A dense crowd of devotees, mostly in white and cream clothes, fills the foreground. Several decorated processional vehicles carry deity murtis under tall umbrellas with striped canopies, including a palanquin-style vehicle on the right where a standing figure in white holds a fan-like object beside a golden-decorated murti. Behind them are small orange and red decorated carts and multicoloured canopy umbrellas. A figure in orange robes stands at the left edge. Trees and a red wall form the background.

A night procession on a dark road, lit by a bright spotlight and strings of coloured fairy lights. Several ornate deity palanquins with golden canopies and red-draped figures are carried or pulled on wheeled carts. A large crowd of devotees, mostly men and women dressed in white, walks close around the carts with hands folded in anjali and some holding lit oil lamps. A dark ornate umbrella stands near the central cart. Partial figures are visible at the front-left and right edges. Many people are visible in the crowd, so the count is shown as 100+ in the people field.2015-11-21December 31 20152015-12-31Night procession with crowds of devotees in dense foreground, many wearing saffron and orange garments, with lit golden palanquins and ratha carried through the street. A gilded palanquin on the right carries two seated figures under a striped canopy, decorated with red drapes and garlands, and a golden lion-like or horse-like vehicle is at its base. Behind, a second golden shrine carries a deity murti. Colourful umbrellas, lit lamps and string lights line the route under a dark sky, with a tall lighting tower behind. Individuals in the crowd are indistinct; no clearly identifiable candidate for the a person role is visible on the palanquin, so identity is unsure.2016-12-23November 21 20152015-11-21December 31 20152015-12-31March 07 20162016-03-07Night photograph of a dense crowd of devotees pressing forward on an open ground, many with raised arms and hands.
