Night procession at a temple-style festival. A large ratha or chariot decorated with dense white, red and yellow flower garlands and draped cloth carries a seated figure with a garland and a rounded headdress. Two standing men in white dhoti and shawl attend beside it, one holding a microphone stand. A brightly illuminated multi-tiered tower with sculpted figures glows green, red and gold at left. A dense crowd of devotees fills the foreground, some raising phones.

A large flower-decorated ratha or palanquin, its tiered roof draped with red, white and yellow garlands, carries a seated figure framed by a garland-covered frame and flanked by attendants in white and saffron-toned clothing. Strings of coloured lights and bright white stage lamps illuminate the scene against a dark sky. The ornate figure seated on the platform is not identifiable with confidence from appearance, so the central figure is described by role as a seated honoured figure on the procession vehicle.2016-12-23February 17 20152015-02-17 +1 copiesNight procession at a temple-style event: a large illuminated golden ratha/chariot with tiered roof, covered in colourful garlands and warm lights, dominates the centre.
