The shrine has a glowing arched backdrop decorated with warm golden and red patterns, with a lit figure or deity murti at its centre, flanked by red-draped structures. Reflections of the lit shrine shimmer on the water. To the right, a metal staircase with railings and a row of small lights rises beside a dark wall. Two or three faint figures stand at the water's edge near the shrine, barely visible.

A night photograph of a lit floating platform on dark water, reflected in the surface. On the platform, a decorated arched shrine glows red and gold with floral and tinsel ornaments, and two seated figures in bright clothing sit beneath it beside a red draped table holding small lamps and offerings. The surrounding area is almost entirely dark, with a lit scaffold or stand at the far left and a faint building wall behind. Two figures are seated on the platform; the water and darkness dominate the frame.

A night-time photograph of a water ritual at the edge of a pool. A large arch of marigold and rose garlands, lit with small lights and strung with red and white flowers, frames a deity murti on the left. A seated man in red and white ritual clothes with a garland and a bead necklace sits on a red-draped platform, and a person in the water raises hands toward him in offering. Three people sit on the bank in the foreground, and a lit oil lamp stands on the platform. Dark water reflects the lamplight. Whether the seated man is a person cannot be confirmed from the image, so he is described only by role.
