Water streams down its surface. Three men stand on a white metal scaffold platform above it: a bare-chested man in the centre pours liquid from a brass vessel, flanked by two men in saffron-orange cloth, one with long dark hair and the other with a shaved head. Behind them are a red brick building, yellow tarpaulin, orange flags and a dark stone deity murti beside an arch.
