Night photograph of a decorated procession float (ratha) with a large arched canopy of white, yellow and purple flower garlands studded with small diamond-shaped lamps. Seated centrally on an ornate gold and jewelled throne is a figure in red and gold garments with a crown, gold necklaces, a long garland and a trident held upright, flanked by gold lion figures. Dense crowds of devotees in silhouette stand in front at night, and a large gold statue stands at the left edge.
