Night photograph of a riverside or tank ceremony at a stepped ghat lined with rows of small oil lamps reflected on dark water. Strings of coloured fairy lights run along the top of the steps, and a bright floodlight glows at upper left. In the centre, a seated figure in red and maroon robes with a garland sits on an ornate gilded throne-like seat, with a crowned attendant standing behind. Two seated devotees in white and light clothing sit at the right, and a small fire or lamp glows at the bottom edge.
