Photo of a river ritual in shallow water. A bald man in a maroon dhoti and a heavy gold-and-bead necklace with rudraksha-style beads and gold pendant wears glasses and holds the arms of a young man in a white sleeveless garment with a white cloth. A third man in a white upper cloth and red dhoti holds the young man's hand with a rudraksha mala. The young man drinks or sips water with his mouth open while the others support him. The water is murky brownish-green with reflections. Two people are visible.
