On the left, a man in white stands on the steps beside a carved wooden chair; a cushioned seat with an orange cloth sits in front, and several people in white and saffron sit in a row. No visible face-based identification is made.

A small white boat carries an ornate deity murti decorated with red and orange garlands and a lit oil lamp, while a man in an orange cloth stands in the boat tending it. Several people in white dhotis and white shirts wade or stand on the wooden ladder and steps, and a seated figure in an orange shawl sits on a red-cushioned throne-like chair at the edge with a couple of women in orange and dark clothing beside him.

In the foreground a boat carries a deity murti decorated with garlands, draped in flowers, with a golden umbrella overhead; a figure in a saffron-coloured robe and a white-clad attendant stand in the boat, and a man in white holds the boat's rope from the steps. A central pillar with a fountain stands in the water, and a figure lies prostrated on the stone steps in orange cloth. Several people in white clothing and a few in saffron sit or stand along the steps. The scene appears to be a temple tank ceremony with a deity procession by water. The a person field is unsure because the saffron-robed figure's appearance is not distinct enough to confirm.2010-11-23December 30 20102010-12-30November 23 20102010-11-23November 23 20102010-11-23December 12 20162016-12-12
