Large group of devotees in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas sit in rows on red stone ghat steps beside water, many with hands raised in a greeting or prayer gesture. At the centre a seated figure in orange with a tall ceremonial crown and beaded necklaces sits near a decorated deity murti or altar draped in colourful cloth. Two large ornate umbrellas, one yellow and one red-and-teal, shade the scene, and a trident-like staff stands among the group. Water reflects the orange robes.
