A photograph of a ritual bathing scene outdoors beside a grey temple wall with a carved niche and green foliage. A bare-chested man in a black garment, with long dreadlocked hair and rudraksha malas, bows with hands joined while water is poured over him from a steel bucket held by a man in white dhoti and shirt with a yellow cord. Around him, saffron-robed sannyasis and devotees in white and orange stand close, many wearing rudraksha malas and forehead markings. A group of women in white with amber beads watch from the left. Water streams down the figure from a stone basin. The bucket and yellow cord suggest an abhishekam-style bathing rite.
