A photograph taken at the shore of a wide, pale turquoise lake under a partly cloudy sky, with snow-dusted mountains far across the water. In the foreground, a man in an olive-green fleece jacket with an orange shawl kneels at the water's edge with his hands pressed together in prayer. Beside him, a figure wrapped in an orange turban and orange shawl, wearing a black jacket and black gloves, holds a polished brass bowl and dips or offers water toward the lake. A third person in an orange garment stands partly visible at the right edge, smiling. The scene reads as a devotional water offering on the lake shore.
