In the centre, a flower-covered ratha/palanquin bearing a deity murti, decorated with white and red garlands, moves along a road. Behind it, a larger illuminated chariot with carved figures and a canopy glows gold. Crowds of devotees in white dhotis and shirts, some in saffron and orange saris, walk alongside and push the vehicles. A dark car is visible at right and a man in a white shirt stands near the front, a rudraksha-clad figure is not clearly visible. No candidate for a person can be confidently identified from appearance, so no one is labelled as him.2016-01-03February 17 20152015-02-17Night procession photographed from behind a crowd of devotees in light-coloured clothing walking along a dark dirt path. At centre a brightly illuminated ratha or chariot decorated with yellow, red and gold drapery and strings of lights stands under a white-lit arch wrapped in twisted lights. Flag poles and green fairy lights line the open ground, and a white canopy shelters the area to the right. Many people are visible, mostly partially in silhouette.2015-01-13January 03 20162016-01-03A night procession on a street lit by strings of multicoloured fairy lights and a bright lamp post. A decorated float or chariot with golden draping and garlands carries several figures in ornate costume, one in a red garment, under a canopy. Dozens of people in white clothes crowd along both sides of the road and walk beside the float, with flags and a tall pole at right. Coloured bunting hangs overhead. No individual figure on the float can be clearly identified, so no a person candidate is asserted.2015-02-19February 21 20162016-02-21
