Hundreds of people in white robes and white head coverings fill the tiered steps, with some in blue and light-blue garments. In the foreground, a row of devotees in saffron and orange robes and yellow vests sits on a wooden platform at the water's edge, near a red boat and a table with water bottles. Trees and a low stone wall frame the scene, and the dark water reflects the lights.
