A young man in orange-saffron robes, with a red-and-white garland and a sacred thread, sits on a gold-and-red throne decorated with flower garlands and palm fronds. Beside him, a bearded man in a red-orange robe with long hair stands holding a long object, and a trident stands near the platform. Attendants in red and orange robes work around the throne, and a dense crowd of bathers stands in the water below, with several men in white dhotis and shirts standing on the steps behind. Shallow water surrounds the platform and a few devotees with raised hands are visible in the crowd.
