Two young sannyasi attendants in saffron-orange dhotis stand at a stone-and-metal ritual tank beside an ornate gold arch. The standing attendant, bare-chested with long dreadlocked hair, pours water from a brass vessel over a small bronze figure on a pedestal. A second attendant in orange cloth bends low at the right, working at a row of large metal vessels. Behind them, red-tiered steps and white railings line a temple water setting.
