A night photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes and a long flower garland, sitting cross-legged on an orange-draped raised platform. Behind him rises a large arch of marigold and rose garlands in yellow, red, purple and white, with two small deity figures in silver ornaments set into the arch. Red and orange cloths hang on both sides, with a white-clad attendant at the right edge partly visible. Electric lamps and a sunshade-like top frame the setting, and the platform appears to stand in water.

The float is covered in garlands of marigolds, white flowers and purple blossoms, with a purple canopy overhead.

A bare-chested priest in an orange dhoti wades in the water beside the float, and rows of seated audience members in white line the stands behind, with strings of lights around the tank.2016-12-14November 20 20132013-11-20December 22 20112011-12-22December 14 20162016-12-14
