Night photograph of a illuminated temple tank or pond at a festival. Rows of small oil lamps and strings of coloured lights line the stepped white-edged banks and a hanging line of lanterns stretches across the background. A group of people in white and some in yellow and orange clothing stands and gathers at the water's edge on the left, with a few others on the steps to the right, some in white dhotis. Dark trees and palms silhouette the night sky, and reflections of the lights shimmer on the water.
