Night photo of an illuminated temple tank with a dark stone structure rising from a platform in the middle of the water, with water spraying from above it. A saffron-robed figure sits cross-legged on a low platform at the water's edge, with a second saffron-clad attendant nearby. A line of white-clad and saffron-clad devotees stands along the right-hand steps of the tank. Spectators are seated on tiered steps in the background, and colourful lights, bunting and a lit building with red and white decoration frame the scene.
