Outdoor scene at a red brick stepped ghat with dark stone pillars. Several young boys and a few adolescents in saffron orange robes sit on the steps among rows of brass bowls and kalasha-like pots, some with paired brass horns and conch-style instruments. A bare-chested boy with long hair and rudraksha malas sits at left near a small child in orange. A tall bare-chested man with very long dark hair and an orange wrap stands at right beside a red flag on a pole, while red flags stand along a chain-link fence in front of the steps. The setting looks like a ritual preparation at a temple tank or river bank.
