A small ornate palanquin-like shrine decorated with gold and yellow flower garlands sits to the right on a raised platform in the water, with a figure in saffron robes standing beside it and attendants in white. Strings of coloured lights line the tiered stone steps, where a group of people in white clothes gather. A lone figure in an orange robe is visible beside the shrine, and the scene is lit by a bright floodlight.
