Night photo of a floating temple-style ratha or float on a water tank, decorated with multicoloured flower garlands and a tiered dome of yellow, pink, purple and white blossoms. A deity murti adorned with yellow and white flower garlands sits inside the open shrine canopy. Several people in white clothes stand waist-deep in the water pushing or accompanying the float, while a bright light flare glows at the right. Rows of clay pots line the tank wall behind.

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.2016-01-04January 04 20162016-01-04January 04 20162016-01-04January 04 20162016-01-04January 04 20162016-01-04A 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. Inside the shrine stands a deity murti adorned with flower garlands, set in an ornate golden arch. Several men in white dhotis and white shirts wade waist-deep in the water pushing or steadying the float, one wearing a white shirt with a lanyard. Behind them a wall is lined with rows of clay pots and lit by glowing oil-lamp shaped neon signs. Lamps and reflections shimmer on the water.

The arched backdrop is decorated with striped, multicoloured draped fabric and lights, and a blue canopy tops it. Two people in white clothes stand partly submerged in the water on either side of the platform, and their reflections shimmer below the structure. The scene is lit mainly by the decorated arch.2013-11-20December 14 20162016-12-14
