Night outdoor scene on bare dry ground. A crowd of devotees in orange and saffron clothes, with some in white and pink, moves in a group toward a red-draped platform on the right, where a small seated figure sits under a red-and-white canopy with a decorated deity murti. A bright lamp on a stand lights the scene, and a decorated chariot or float with gold ornaments stands at the left. A man in grey dhoti-style trousers with a garland stands at the right edge, and a person in a yellow top photographs the scene with a phone. A visible bright lamp and a blue-and-white circular logo appear at the top left.

Many people in orange, red and white clothing walk through the dim scene, several holding lights. A small illuminated palanquin or ratha with a red canopy and lamps sits in the centre, and a bright handheld torch shines at right beside people carrying large ornate golden staffs or standards. Most figures are silhouettes. No individual can be identified with confidence, so the a person field is unsure.2016-09-01September 01 20162016-09-01Night outdoor procession on a grassy ground lit by bright stage lights. In the right foreground a bare-chested man with curly dark hair and white face markings, wearing a grey dhoti and a garland of green leaves across his shoulders, stands with palms pressed together as if in greeting or prayer. Behind him a line of people in orange and saffron robes and red attire walks toward a raised red-draped platform holding a seated figure under a red canopy, with a golden decorative pillar nearby. Several people in white and grey clothes stand watching. Tall decorated orange-and-green ceremonial banners on poles appear at the left edge.2016-09-01Night outdoor ritual photo in a dirt courtyard lit dimly against dark trees and a low wall. A seated figure sits on an ornate gold throne with a canopy and raised arm, above a red draped platform. A standing attendant in white dhoti and a man in saffron-orange cloth stand near the platform. A long line of people in orange, maroon and white clothing stands on both sides, including children in orange and yellow robes at right. A small table fan sits beside the platform. The seated figure has long dark hair and wears red-orange garments, but the appearance is too uncertain to attribute him to a person.2016-03-02Night-time outdoor scene on an open dirt ground lit by a bright floodlight. A bare-chested man with a grey-silver dhoti and a green-and-gold shawl stands at centre right with hands on his hips, facing a crowd. Around 30 people, many in orange, saffron and white clothing, stand and crouch on the left, several holding ornate red, orange and gold parasols or umbrellas with tassels. A man in a green kurta and white dhoti on the far left holds a camera, and children in orange and yellow dresses lean forward watching.
