A flower-decorated boat floats in shallow water beside a large black stone shivalinga-style structure and red-tiered steps. Seated under an orange fringed canopy are two people in orange robes; the one on the left wears a white garland and holds a white flower, while the one on the right wears white and an orange shawl. Several men in white clothing wade in the water, pushing or steadying the boat, which is heaped with orange, purple and white flowers and yellow marigold garlands. Water sprays from above, and a sign with a yellow symbol is visible at upper left.
