Night photograph of a floral-decorated boat on dark water beside a large black Shiva lingam shrine, lit by floodlights. The lingam is draped with yellow and purple marigold garlands and a yellow-and-purple garland swag. On the boat, a seated figure in orange clothing sits near a tall deity murti or ornate figure decorated with yellow and orange flowers and garlands. Metal stairs and a platform lead up to the shrine, with a multi-storey building behind. Two or three people are partly visible in the water near the boat, one in the water at left and another at the boat's edge, and the boat is wrapped with purple and yellow garland bunting. No clearly identifiable a person candidate is visible; the seated figure in orange is too small and distant to assess.
