Night photograph of a festival procession in a dark street. At the centre, a small illuminated ornate palanquin with a domed roof and garlanded pillars carries a seated figure in gold and white robes, lit from within, with attendants standing alongside. Strings of blue, green and white fairy lights cover a tall building face on the right, and red and green lights glow on buildings at left. A dense dark crowd fills the foreground. Appears to be a ratha/palanquin procession at night.
