Night photo at a street procession near a yellow and blue Mahindra truck marked SOUND and HORN with a STOP sign on its rear bumper. A man in a saffron-orange robe and sandals, with a short-sleeved red top underneath and a smile, raises one hand in greeting. Beside him a man in white dhoti and shirt wears a long beaded necklace and walks barefoot. Women in white sarees, a green sari and a blue patterned sari stand nearby, and a small girl is held on a woman's hip while another child in pink stands below. The scene suggests a crowd gathered around a ratha during a yatra, with a bunch of flowers held by a woman in white.
