Night photograph of a temple ratha festival. A man in an orange-saffron dhoti and white head wrap stands on the left, raising a flaming lamp toward a golden Nandi bull that carries a golden shrine canopy with a yellow drape. Behind the bull, deity murtis are dressed with green cloth, marigold and red garlands. Smoke rises from the lamp. Bright stage lights and coloured fairy lights frame the scene. The priest's face is not visible enough to judge who he is, so no identity is asserted.
