Night photograph of a richly decorated floating shrine barge on a water tank, its tiered, striped canopy of multicoloured blocks topped by a small bell cluster. Floral garlands hang within the open arches and a lit figure sits inside under warm lamplight. Several men in white dhotis and shirts stand waist-deep in the water pushing or guiding the barge. Brick steps lined with potted plants and a lit railing rise behind. No clearly identifiable a person candidate is distinguishable by appearance; the figure seated inside is too small and partly obscured to assess.

A seated figure in orange-saffron garments sits under a canopy at the centre of the platform.

The scene is lit by the glow of the decorations and the dim light on the water.2010-01-04 +1 copiesA night photograph of a floating temple-car shrine on water, decorated with dense garlands of marigolds and multicoloured flowers in yellow, white, pink, purple and green.
