Night procession on a gravel road. A large illuminated palanquin or ratha glows with warm light, decorated with garlands and a fringed canopy, with a dark umbrella-like parasol shading the front. A line of devotees in red and white garments with red shawls walks on both sides, many with hands raised or clapping. A bright lamp light on the road in the foreground lights the path. The crowd is dense, with figures fading into darkness at the edges. At the centre, a figure in red robes with a red garland stands near the front of the procession.
