Night photograph at a water's edge of a large, brightly painted Ganesha murti with an elephant head, decorated with a marigold garland, blue and red ornaments and a crown, being carried or attended by a group of devotees. Most wear white dhotis and some are bare-chested with orange or saffron cloths. A few hold small lights, and the scene is lit by a flash on the sandy bank before dark water and trees. Several people appear partially blurred from movement.
