A photograph at a large cascading waterfall in dense green forest, with a crowd of people standing in a pool at its base, many with raised arms and open hands toward the falls. A bare-chested man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing an orange-and-gold dhoti and a large ceremonial garland of orange flowers, stands on a wooden platform at right, smiling and facing the crowd. Around him are people in white and orange clothing, a man in a white shirt holding a camera, and a monk in orange robes at the right edge. A pink object is thrown or floats in the air near the falls, and a rope line runs across the rock above the water.
