Devotees bathe in a strong waterfall cascading over dark rock at a forest falls, with green foliage above and to the right. Several men stand in the splashing water: a young man in a red dhoti with bare upper body, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti at left, a man in red clothing and a man in a white sleeveless vest. A woman in a green sari stands behind a yellow metal railing at left. Others stand near the spray at right, some wearing light checked or plain lungis. The scene reads as a holy bathing place with pilgrims washing under the falls.
