A smiling person stands at the edge of a stone-stepped tank, palms pressed together in namaste, wearing a rust-brown silk dhoti and draped cloth with gold borders, a thick red and white flower garland, gold armlets and ornate gold necklaces. Behind on the steps, a man in white dhoti with gold border holds a metal plate, and a man in saffron-orange cloth with a rudraksha mala stands nearby beside steel vessels. Yellow and orange marigold garlands decorate the railing and water. In the background, rows of people in white and saffron clothing stand before tiered red-brick steps, some with brass lamps set on pedestals, during a ceremony.
