A photograph of a group descending stone steps beside calm dark water at dusk. In the centre, a bare-chested man with a shaved-looking head? No: a man with dark swept-back hair, a forehead tilak, multiple rudraksha malas and a red-brown cloth draped over his shoulders leans forward, hands near his knees. To his right, a shaved-headed man in a white dhoti with a gold border and a white shoulder cloth steps down. Behind them, several people in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas follow, and a woman in a red-orange sari with a rudraksha mala stands at left. A woman in a green salwar kameez and a woman in a cream sari with gold border are at the edges, and a man in a white shirt stands behind. The water is still and grey-blue.
