Night photograph of a festival procession on a city street lit by a glowing street lamp. In the centre, a decorated ratha rides on a dark wooden platform raised on long poles, with a deity murti under a fringed ceremonial umbrella with a red-and-gold border. The murti is gold-coloured with a halo and draped cloth, and a green-and-gold canopy hangs on the right beside a flower-garlanded car carrying red and white garlands. Small figures are visible at the bottom edge among shop-front lights. No identifiable a person appearance is clearly visible, and the murti is not a person.
