Night procession at a temple-style event. In the foreground, a silhouetted figure wearing a dark garment with white sash-like bands walks toward the camera, lit by a small torch. Behind them, a brightly illuminated ornate chariot (ratha) decorated with golden figures, strings of yellow and red tassels and a striped canopy is pulled along the path. A tall dark umbrella is held over the procession. On the left, several people in white dhoti-style clothing stand with a long pole. The background shows a low building with lights. The scene is largely dark, with the chariot as the main lit element.
