Night photograph of a large outdoor stadium-style pool with stone steps and a wide stadium seating area in the background. A decorated red-and-gold float carries an ornate deity murti with a golden halo and a canopy, drifting on the dark water. Two or three figures in white clothing stand on the float and at the pool edge, near a lit oil lamp on the float. Rows of pale stone lamp stands or kalashas with cylindrical bases fill the foreground in a grid around a white metal railing.
