Night photograph of the Vaidya Sarovar tank at Bidadi. A large black Shiva lingam-form monument stands in the middle of the dark water, with a fountain jet rising behind it and a lit lamp on its front face. Rows of lit oil lamps line the stepped stone ghats and walkways on the right, and tiered white seating on the left is filled with lamp-lit spectators. A multi-storey building with illuminated windows and a green signal light stands at the far right. Many small lamps reflect on the water. The scene matches the Karthikai Deepam lamp-lit celebration named on the page.
