A photograph of a shahi snan river procession wading through shallow water with splashing spray. In the centre, a man with long dark swept-back hair wears a maroon-brown dhoti and a large gold ceremonial necklace with a garland, lifting one arm as water flies around him. Around him, many devotees in white dhotis with gold borders, rudraksha malas and marigold garlands walk or wade; others wear orange and maroon robes. Behind them, pink, orange and teal ceremonial umbrellas, red and yellow flags and a tall staff rise above the crowd, with a sunny blue sky and poles along the far bank.
