Night photograph of a lakeside ghat with red-and-white stepped stone seating filled with seated devotees in white clothing, some in saffron and red garments. Bright floodlights and a glowing light streak above the dark water. On the far side of the pond, a figure in orange robes sits near a small boat with a yellow-and-red canopy, with a lantern-like light on the water. The scene suggests a ceremony or satsang by the water at night, though no clear ritual is visible.
