Photograph of a group of devotees standing waist-deep in water at a stone-walled tirtha bathing area, with a pink-painted pillar and metal railings. In the centre, a man with long hair and a beard, wearing a saffron cloth and a rudraksha mala, presses his palms together in prayer. Beside him, a bare-chested man with a beard and rudraksha malas holds his hands in anjali, and a bare-chested man in orange cloth stands behind. A small stone lingam-like object with a flower sits in the water in front, and onlookers line the upper wall in the background. Several people in the water appear to be taking a ritual dip.
