Night photograph of a temple procession at a dark outdoor ground. A tall, illuminated ratha or palanquin shaped like a temple tower is decorated with string lights in green, white and gold, with figures on its sides. A line of people in white clothing walks alongside it, and a larger lit figure stands at the right edge. Several bright lights glow in the distance, and purple lights line the path. No individual person can be identified clearly enough to assess their presentation.
