Night procession photographed with a brightly lit, flame-orange ratha or chariot in the background, its sides hung with coloured tassels and string lights. In the foreground a smiling man in a rust-red shawl and dhoti, with a red-and-blue flower garland and a red bindi, walks at the centre while a man in an orange-brown dhoti and shawl holds a large dark embroidered umbrella over him. Another man in a white shirt stands at the right edge, partly cropped, and a few more people are partly visible in the background. The man under the umbrella is a person by appearance cues: a long hanging garland and a ceremonial umbrella-bearing role, but the face and hair are not clearly distinctive enough to confirm identity.

In front, a man in a saffron-red robe with a red-and-white flower garland walks barefoot; beside him, a man in an orange-brown dhoti and shawl holds a tall umbrella with a dark embroidered canopy. Behind them a man in red and a white-clad attendant carry lamps and a flaming torch, and a crowd of devotees in white and red shawls follows. Another figure with a red-and-yellow shawl and visible rudraksha beads walks at left, with a white-clad attendant beside him. The scene is a ratha/palanquin procession.2016-02-17February 17 20162016-02-17February 21 20162016-02-21
