Photograph of a crowd standing waist-deep in water at dusk. Many people wear white wet clothes, and one central figure in a red garment and white-and-red flower garland raises a tall golden-tipped trident overhead. Men with yellow shawls and rudraksha malas stand nearby, smiling; several women with wet hair are visible among the group. The water and close crowd fill the frame, with heads in the foreground.
