Dark night procession photographed from a low angle, with a brightly lit illuminated palanquin or ratha at the centre, decorated with gold-toned ornaments, draped fabric and a small crown-like top canopy, flanked by curved string lights. Dozens of dim silhouetted figures crowd around and follow it, some in light-coloured clothing. Warm lamps glow inside the structure and a few small white lights shine at left. The surrounding darkness hides most faces and details.
