Night photograph of a temple procession. A tall, multi-tiered golden ratha (chariot) with a pointed red-and-gold spire is lit with many small lights and hung with red and orange garlands. Two decorated deity murti figures stand on a lit platform to the left and right of the chariot, one under a decorated canopy. A dark crowd of onlookers, seen from behind, lines the foreground. Strings of coloured fairy lights and a bright floodlight illuminate the street, with green and white decorations on the right. No a person candidate is visible; no one in the crowd can be identified from appearance.
