Night procession in a crowded Indian town street. A large crowd of devotees in light-coloured clothes fills the foreground, many with their backs to the camera. At centre, a brightly illuminated decorated deity murti or float is carried forward, glowing orange-gold, with white-clad attendants around it. Strings of lights, a lit streetlamp, and shop fronts with fruit stalls line the road, and an ornate temple gopuram-style structure rises at right. Dense crowd, all visible people are part of the procession crowd.
