Dusk procession at a temple festival: a large illuminated ratha/chariot with a golden canopy and garlands is pulled along a dirt path lined with string lights, with a second lit shrine-like float ahead. Hundreds of people in white dhotis and white and grey clothing walk along, several men in saffron/orange robes stand on the chariot near the front, and a sun-like floodlight stands above the route. Small green lights are worn or carried by some marchers. A white van sits at right, and a dusk sky with hills forms the backdrop.
