A central man wears a deep orange-red turban, a red-orange robe with gold borders, and a large gold pendant on a beaded necklace; he stands with his hand at his chest. Around him, several saffron-clad men with white tilak marks on their foreheads wear gold-bordered orange robes, layered beaded necklaces and gold pendants, and carry cloth bundles. A man at right in a white dhoti and an orange shoulder bag has an orange garland and white forehead marks. Women in saris bathe and stand in the water at left and in the background, while a banner and signboard hang on the pillars.
