A photograph of pilgrims at the edge of a wide, grey-blue lake under a pale sky with distant brown hills. Several people in saffron-orange dhotis and shawls wade into the water, some already immersed and others standing at the shore. On the pebbly beach, a man in a white sleeveless top and white shorts stands with his hands together, while people in orange shawls and a green puffer jacket watch. Piles of clothes, bags, a blue jacket and sandals lie on the sand, and a woman in a blue top sits on a red-and-brown cloth nearby. The scene suggests a sacred bathing ritual at the lakeside.
