Four people stand in a heavy waterfall at Papanasam falls, with water cascading over them onto a wet rocky pool. On the left, a smiling man in white dhoti and kurta wears an orange shawl over one shoulder and stands beside a rusty metal railing. Next to him, a figure in white garments bows his head under the spray. Two men in saffron-red wet cloth stand at the centre and right; the centre man is bare-chested with long wet hair and clasps his hands, while the right man wears a long orange-red robe and a beaded necklace, head bowed. Dense white spray fills the background against dark rock.
