A man in saffron-orange robes, with a white and red flower garland around his neck, bends forward and dips his hand into the water of a tank, stepping in at the stone edge. Behind him, a robed man in orange with a shaved head and a red-and-orange cloth over one shoulder holds a bundle of flowers and a small object, while another orange-robed man stands beside them. On the left, people in white dhotis and shirts stand on the steps. Red stepped embankment seating and white-clad figures appear in the background across the water, with floating petals on the surface.
