Several young men in ritual dress gather at stone steps beside a water tank. Several wear orange or red garments with gold borders, while others wear white dhotis with gold borders. Some bare-chested young men hold brass pots and vessels at the water's edge, and a red ceremonial flag stands behind them. A man in an orange wrap bends over the fence while others dip or pour from brass vessels. Brass pots are also set on the wet ground in the lower right. Some wear rudraksha malas and tilak marks on their faces and bodies. Nobody here is identified as a person.
