A night-time photograph at a riverside ghat shows a decorated shrine platform lit against dark water. A seated figure in a maroon garment with a garland sits on a red-and-blue patterned mat before an arched frame of marigold and multicoloured flower garlands; a deity murti with ornaments is visible within the arch. Several devotees in orange and red saris stand on the stone steps with hands folded in prayer, while two small children stand at right. Two men in white dhotis kneel near the platform.
