Two deity murtis stand on the ratha, adorned with flower garlands. Devotees in white and light-coloured clothing walk alongside and behind it, some pulling ropes attached to the ratha. A man in an orange cloth stands near the ratha, and bunting flags strung across the street and a few bicycles appear at the right edge under street lighting.2006-09-24February 12 20132013-02-12November 11 20082008-11-11Night procession on a dark street lined with shops and hanging pennants. At the centre is an ornate silver-gilded palanquin-style ratha carrying a deity murti decorated with garlands and red-and-gold drapery, with a small kalasha-like finial atop. Men in orange-and-white dhotis or sacred-thread-style orange shawls walk alongside and support the carriage. Around it crowds of devotees in white shirts and dhotis, a woman in a white sari, and people in checked shirts follow closely. A red rope barrier runs along the left side. The scene is lit mainly by street lights and the carriage's lamps.2006-09-24November 11 20062006-11-11November 11 20082008-11-11February 12 20132013-02-12February 10 20132013-02-10February 12 20132013-02-12
