Outdoor temple scene at a stone-lined water tank. Two shaved-headed young priests in orange-saffron dhotis stand at a gold-framed arch. The priest on the right, bare-chested with an orange cloth draped over his shoulder, pours water from a brass kalasha over a small gold deity murti set on the arch base. The priest on the left, bent forward and bare-backed, works over large brass vessels. Water spills in a visible stream. A striped cloth and a small metal pot sit on the stone platform. Behind them, red-painted steps lined with small stone shrines rise, with red banners at the right.
