A blurred night photograph of a festival procession on a decorated ratha or palanquin. Red umbrellas hang overhead, and the structure is draped with marigold garlands, green leaves, yellow lights and tasselled red and pink cloth. Two figures in red garments and ornate gold headdresses sit or stand on the platform, with bright flame or lamp glow in the lower left foreground. The surrounding area is dark, and the whole scene is out of focus. No person can be clearly identified, so no a person candidate is claimed.
