Evening photograph of a temple tank at dusk, its stepped white and red banks lined with rows of oil lamps reflected on the water. A decorated palanquin on the water is carried by figures in orange and saffron clothing, with a gold-topped canopy overhead. A large umbrella in red, yellow and black with painted motifs shades the central group. A crowd of devotees in white and light clothing stands on the steps and banks watching, and strings of orange festival lights hang above. No figure can be identified with confidence from appearance alone.
