A night procession on a paved road lit by floodlights. At the centre, an illuminated palanquin or ratha glows with fairy lights and carries a dark ornate umbrella above a deity or dignitary seated under it. Along both sides, a long line of people walks: many women and girls in red and orange saris with rudraksha malas, and men in white dhotis and orange or saffron shawls, some carrying items. Crowd size is large, with dozens of participants visible in the frame.
