A ritual immersion in a blue pool. A man in a pale yellow dhoti-style garment and glasses holds a gilt Nataraja-style bronze figure of Shiva with four arms and a flame, while beside him a man in an orange turban, orange robe and rudraksha mala leans over the water and lowers a small gilt murti. On the right a man in white holds another gilt figure, and at the left edge a small gilt deity figure is visible. Two gilt torana-style arches and deity murtis rest in the water.

A young man in an orange turban, orange top and rudraksha mala pours water from a cupped hand over small gold-coloured deity murtis standing in a blue basin. Beside him an older man with glasses wears white kurta and a gold shawl and also reaches toward the murtis. Behind them stand people in white and orange robes, one holding a green banana leaf. The orange-clad figure's appearance does not clearly establish his identity, so no identity claim is made.2006-09-10September 10 20062006-09-10September 10 20062006-09-10A photograph of a ritual immersion at a blue-lined pool.
