A large crowd gathers at the water's edge of a river as devotees wade in a shallow pool. In the foreground, a figure with long dark dreadlocks, bare-chested and wearing gold necklaces and bangles, stands in the water with arms outstretched, facing a group in white and saffron. Around him, many robed sadhus in white and orange garments with rudraksha malas stand waist-deep, hands pressed together in prayer. Red and saffron flags rise above the crowd, a trident-topped staff is visible at right, and people line the bank and rooftops in the background under trees.
