Night photograph of a procession crossing a river on a pontoon bridge supported by large dark floating drums. A decorated palanquin or ratha with a lit, flower-strung canopy and small flags sits at the centre, carried or escorted by a crowd of people, many in white or light clothing. Saffron flags are visible along the bridge and on the far bank. Golden street lights and illuminated buildings glow across the dark water, and reflections shimmer on the river surface.
