A photograph of an outdoor river-side ritual with a seated central figure on an ornate silver-and-gold throne placed in shallow water. The central figure wears a red-orange garment with a yellow border, a fresh white-and-yellow flower garland, a red shawl and white armband, with long dark hair, and holds a silver tray of food or offerings. Around them, men in white dhotis with yellow borders and red-orange shawls sit in the water and take food from the tray, while one standing man holds a tall staff near the throne. A woman in a red sari with yellow border stands at right holding a small cup, and onlookers stand on the bank behind among trees.
