A photo of a river or temple tank ritual in which many devotees stand waist-deep in dark water. In the foreground a smiling young man in a sleeveless red garment sits in the water behind a garland of white flowers with red petals. Behind him a man in a red cloth holds a silver trident, and a man on the left wears a saffron robe, a gold necklace and a red tilak. Others wear white clothes with yellow shawls and rudraksha malas, and a woman in grey stands with hands pressed together in namaste. Water splashes around the group during the bathing ceremony.
