Dusk photograph of a crowd gathered along a tiered stone ghat beside a water tank, with strings of red and orange lights and small lamps lining the steps and rim.

Many devotees in white and orange clothing line the bank; one raises an arm at the left edge, and a yellow shoulder cloth is visible in the foreground.
