Evening boat procession on a lit temple tank at dusk, with a tall stepped fountain or tower in the centre. A boat carries a central seated figure in orange robes with a garland, sitting on a red-draped throne-like seat beside a deity murti decorated with flowers; attendants in red and orange stand and sit around it. A large multicolored ceremonial umbrella with fringe stands at the right. Along the banks, a crowd of devotees in white and orange watches, some with hands folded, and a woman in a white head covering and a light blue shawl stands at lower right. Strings of lights line the tank walls.
