A group of people sits on red stone steps beside a still water tank, reflected in the water. A girl in a teal and orange sari sits at left with her hands pressed together. Several boys and young girls in casual shirts, shorts and orange tops sit closely together, some with hands folded near their faces. A woman in a white and grey patterned sari sits higher up, and a woman in a white head covering sits among them. Two bald men in white shirts and white dhotis sit on the steps at right, one with a lanyard. The scene appears to be a quiet gathering at a temple tank, with many people watching the water.

Rows of unlit oil lamps line the red stepped banks on the left, and potted plants sit on the upper steps. Many devotees, mostly women in white and in bright saris of pink, green, yellow and orange, sit closely packed on the steps and along the railing, some holding long bamboo poles or sticks. A man in white stands among them with arm extended, and banana leaves and green decorative leaves are tied along the railings. The scene suggests a night ritual gathering with a mass of devotees facing the water.2010-02-12October 17 20102010-10-17October 17 20102010-10-17
