Night street procession in India: a crowd of devotees in white dhotis, shirts and sarees gathers around an ornate, flower-garlanded ratha chariot lit by a bright lamp. Garlands of yellow and orange flowers hang from the chariot's pillars and canopy. Inside the shrine, a figure in white clothing and a white headpiece stands near the decorated structure, while others in the crowd stand close to the chariot. Shops with lit signs line the roadside behind the crowd.2006-11-01August 02 20092009-08-02February 12 20092009-02-12October 15 20062006-10-15August 02 20092009-08-02February 12 20092009-02-12February 12 20092009-02-12October 09 20062006-10-09January 22 20102010-01-22February 13 20092009-02-13Night street procession with a gold-decorated ratha, a vehicle framed by an ornate gilded arch holding a large portrait of a smiling woman with dark hair and a pink garland.
