A photograph of a group of devotees dressed in white sitting in a row on stone steps at the edge of a pond, performing a water-offering ritual. Many wear white kurtas and white dresses, with a few in colourful clothing and one woman in black. Several lean forward and dip their hands toward the water. A standing figure in white stands at the top of the stone wall, and a stone-walled island platform sits in the foreground of the still water.
