A photograph of a pond or tank with green water, where a man in an orange robe kneels on a white stone ledge covered with a striped woven mat. He leans forward with one hand resting on the mat, offering flowers, as pink and white petals float on the water. Another figure in orange stands partly visible at the top left. The setting appears to be an outdoor water ritual.

He reaches his hand toward the water, which is ripples and small splashes, and a leaf-plate with red flowers, a small lamp and offerings floats nearby.
