Large outdoor photo of a crowded holy dip in a stone-edged tank, Vaidya Sarovar. A tall black shivalinga stands on a square dais at left, garlanded with orange and multicoloured marigold garlands, with water spraying from it. Hundreds of devotees in white clothes stand waist-deep in the water. At right, a decorated palanquin-style float with orange and gold garlands carries a deity murti. Red tiered steps rise behind, lined with more white-clad people and a few in orange and saffron. A person in a red shirt stands at the water's edge at right. Many people here are too far away to pick out clothing or any single person as a candidate.
