Outdoor ritual scene at a red-brick stepped structure lined with rows of black Shiva lingams on small pedestals and dark stone sculptures. A line of devotees in white and cream dhotis and saris climbs or descends stone steps beside a still water pool, many with palms pressed together in anjali. One figure in a bright orange robe stands at upper right with hands folded, and a child in a yellow sari walks at the lower right edge. Red flags and a white railing run along the steps, and reflections of the white-clad procession shimmer in the water.
