A photograph of a waterfront bathing ghat at a coastal temple tank. Several men stand waist-deep in greenish water, some shirtless and some wearing white or orange dhotis, many with bare upper bodies and shaved or short hair. Along the pink-painted white parapet above, a crowd of onlookers watches, including people in green garments and a man holding a camera. Pink-coloured stone pillars and a pink kalasha-style post mark the edge of the tank, with a metal pot resting on the steps. Palm trees, small buildings and moored boats appear beyond the water under a pale sky.
