A night-time procession on a dirt road. A brightly illuminated ratha or chariot decorated with glowing lights and floral garlands moves along the centre, with a lit lantern-like structure at its top. Two rows of people in red and orange saris and dhotis line both sides of the road, many with hands folded. Men in white dhotis and shirts walk near the chariot, and a few figures in red and maroon robes stand near its front. Trees and a building are dimly visible in the background, with a white light on a pole at left.
