Night procession at an outdoor ground. A brightly lit, multi-tiered ratha or palanquin with a kalasha-topped roof, glowing with orange and gold lights, carries a deity murti at its centre and moves toward the viewer. Along both sides, devotees in saffron and orange dress, many in orange saris and orange kurtas, walk or stand in lines, some holding the ratha ropes and others looking on. A young boy in a white kurta and red trousers stands in the foreground on the right, and white-clad figures appear among the crowd. A bright floodlight and a large vehicle sit on the right edge of the scene. Approximately 21 to 100 people are visible.
