Outdoor ritual at a stepped tank with red-and-white striped walls and palm trees behind. A bald man in saffron-orange robes and a beaded necklace stands at the water's edge, while a woman in a red-orange sari with a garland and a silver tray of flowers stands beside him on the steps. Several men in saffron robes and white dhotis line the steps, and a man in saffron holds a tall ceremonial staff. Rows of black stone shivalingas draped in white cloth and adorned with white flower garlands sit along the steps. Devotees in white kurtas and dhotis stand on the steps and wade in the water, and a man in white stands waist-deep bathing.
