A dark night photograph of a water-filled pool or tank. On the left, a brightly lit decorated arch frames a deity murti with red and gold ornamentation, set on a red platform with a small lamp; two dim figures stand near its base, reflected in the water. On the right, a metal staircase with railings rises beside a stone wall, and a row of lights outlines an arch. The black surroundings make the scene mostly shadow.

Several figures in white clothing stand in the dark water near the shrine's steps, and a single figure in white wades in the middle of the water. A long low red-and-white striped ledge runs along the right side of the pool, and a tall metal staircase tower with a railing stands at the right edge beside a dark arched structure.

On the left, a small illuminated shrine with a decorated arched backdrop and a lit deity murti sits on a platform in the water, with two figures standing beside it at the waterline. On the right, a dark shivalinga-style column rises from a red-and-white platform, with a metal staircase and railing beside it where one figure stands on top. A wall of stacked clay pots lines the back left. The water reflects the warm glow of the shrine.

A decorated structure framed by marigold and flower garlands holds a seated figure in red and gold clothing beside a lit oil lamp on a red-draped platform.

Night photograph of a illuminated deity murti set on a raised platform floating on dark water, reflected in the rippling surface. The murti sits within a red and white arched canopy decorated with light strings and a glowing lamp at its right. Two figures in white clothing stand in the water beside the platform, one partly hidden in shadow. Dark tiered stone steps and a crowd silhouette fill the background, with a small lit lamp on the platform edge.

A night photograph of an illuminated outdoor water tank at a temple-like site. A tall black Shivalinga-shaped pillar with red and white striped banding rises from the water, with thin water jets arcing around it. A metal staircase with railings leads up its right side. At left, a lit shrine niche with a red-lit deity murti stands beside a small lamp on a red platform. Three people in white clothes stand in the water: two near the left shrine and one at lower right, plus a figure on the stairs.

A night-time photograph of a water ritual at the edge of a pool. A large arch of marigold and rose garlands, lit with small lights and strung with red and white flowers, frames a deity murti on the left. A seated man in red and white ritual clothes with a garland and a bead necklace sits on a red-draped platform, and a person in the water raises hands toward him in offering. Three people sit on the bank in the foreground, and a lit oil lamp stands on the platform. Dark water reflects the lamplight. Whether the seated man is a person cannot be confirmed from the image, so he is described only by role.
