Outdoor photograph of a stepped water tank with red and white striped steps. Rows of small white-draped stone or metal murti figures with grey faces and flower garlands sit on the steps. A woman in a cream sari with a gold border stands on the left edge beside the water. A man in white clothes stands near the water's edge, and a woman in a blue sari stands among the murtis. A young man in an orange shirt crouches in the foreground, and a man in white kneels at the water with a child-sized figure nearby. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person, so no candidate is asserted.

Several saffron-robed sadhus descend the steps; the central figure wears a long orange garment, a red-and-orange garland, and carries a small white bundle, while a companion in orange with a white cloth bundle assists. Another orange-clad attendant carries a small pot and a camera bag walks nearby. Along the steps stand five stone lingam-shaped murtis, each draped in white cloth and garlanded with marigolds and flowers, arranged for abhishekam-style ritual. Tall potted plants and trees line the upper edge, and a few white-clad people stand near the top of the steps.
