Night photograph of a festival procession on a riverside or temple ground. A decorated palanquin with a blue and orange canopy, strung with marigold garlands and hanging tassels, carries a seated figure in red and gold clothing. Men in saffron and orange robes, one in a white dhoti with a bare upper body, stand and sit around the palanquin, one holding a long ceremonial staff. A man in a yellow turban and orange robe stands at the right edge. Ceremonial trident-topped poles and stacked tassel decorations frame the scene under dark night sky.
