Night photograph of a flower-decorated boat being pulled through shallow water at a temple tank. A seated figure in orange robes sits on a red-cushioned throne at the top of the floral canopy, with palm fronds and marigold garlands in yellow, orange and white draped along the sides. Several people wade in the water, some in white dhotis and kurtas, holding and guiding the boat; a man in white garments walks at the right edge pushing it forward. Children in white shirts with red sashes stand in the water at the left. Brick steps and a dark sky frame the scene.
