Night festival procession in a crowded street lit by purple and pink stage light. A dense crowd of men and some women raise their hands high, many wearing cream, yellow and green cloth headwraps and white forehead markings. Behind them, ornate illuminated ratha/chariot-style processional structures and decorated umbrellas (chhatra) with fringed tassels and string lights stand in the background. No individual a person candidate is clearly identifiable from the visible appearance, so the a person field is set to unsure and no one is named.
