Outdoor water ritual in a shallow tank with red-and-white striped stepped walls, palm trees and strings of red-and-orange bunting behind. A raised golden palanquin decorated with yellow garlands and red flower petals floats in the water, with a golden umbrella above it. A man in an orange-red robe stands beside it, another figure in red sits on the palanquin, and many people in white clothes wade around it, some waist-deep, with a few in other colours. The scene appears to be a devotional procession in water. a person cues are limited, so the robed figure is described by role only.
