Evening photograph of a river boat procession at dusk. A figure in saffron-orange robes with white and dark rudraksha-style neck beads sits under a silver umbrella on a golden throne-like seat. Two murti figures in silver and blue garments, adorned with necklaces, crowns and yellow marigold garlands, sit on a red-draped platform in front. Other seated devotees in saffron and white clothing surround the boat, with flower petals scattered on the wooden deck and a small offering bowl at right. Silhouetted onlookers line the riverbank in the background.

A seated figure in orange robes and a garland sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne under a golden canopy, the mount of a ceremonial boat. Before him, a red-draped platform carries two deity murtis adorned with garlands of yellow marigolds and jewelry. Orange-robed attendants stand or sit around the boat, some in white with red shawls, and marigold petals float on the water. Several people sit or stand at the edges, including a person in the foreground with grey hair and a yellow garment, and orange-clad figures paddle or steady the boat. Brass lamps and string lights are visible along the water's edge.2009-01-02January 02 20092009-01-02January 02 20092009-01-02Evening photograph of a lake ceremony at dusk. A man in orange robes with a white garland sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne under a gold canopy on a wooden boat. Before him, a red-draped platform holds two deity murtis adorned with garlands of yellow marigolds, one in white and gold and one in blue with a crown. Several people in orange and white sit on the boat and in the water around it, and a tall black shivalinga stands by the water's edge. Other figures in orange stand near the throne. The person on the throne matches the appearance cues of a person, with long hair and a white garland over orange robes, but this is an appearance-based label only.2009-01-02Dusk photograph of a floating boat procession on temple water. A man in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back hair, a white garland and a white forehead band sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne under a gold umbrella canopy; he appears to be the Swamiji (probable), given his saffron clothing, long hair, white garland and seated place of honour. A bearded man in orange robes stands behind the throne, and two men in orange sit at the left edge of the boat. Ahead, a red cloth-draped platform carries two bronze deity murti adorned with flower garlands and jewellery, one with a crown. Marigold and white flower garlands line the boat, and a tall temple tower and onlookers stand along the bank.2009-01-02
