Night photograph of a large outdoor crowd gathered around an illuminated ornate chariot or ratha with golden and red decorations, glowing lights and a burst of fireworks in the dark sky above. Many devotees wear white traditional clothes, with some in dhotis and saris, and several hold colourful umbrellas, including red, pink and yellow ones. Buses are parked to the left, and a white fenced wall runs along the right side. Smoke or haze hangs over the scene.
