A photograph of devotees bathing in a river with churning brown-grey water. In the centre, a bare-chested young man in dark shorts stands waist-deep, both hands on his wet head, water streaming down, with a bright orange plastic container at his waist and a red bracelet and white beaded wrist band. To the right, a shirtless boy in olive shorts reaches toward him holding a blue container. Behind them, several other bathers stand on wooden steps beside orange-and-red cloth, with a bare-backed man in the upper left. The scene is a riverside ritual bath with no a person figure visible.
