Night procession on a dark road lit by a glowing illuminated palanquin decorated with garlands and hanging tassels in red, yellow and green, topped by an ornate canopy. A central figure in a deep red-maroon robe with a long beaded garland walks ahead of the palanquin, flanked by attendants in white dhotis and orange-red shawls. Rows of devotees in white clothes and red-orange sashes stand along both sides with hands folded, a few with flowers and white garments. The scene appears to be a ceremonial ratha or palanquin procession.
