A river ritual in a rocky stream. Many devotees in white clothes with red-orange sashes sit in the shallow flowing water and on the rocks. Several hold small square leaf or cloth offerings, and a wooden log and small pile of crystal-like stones sit in the water at the center. Water splashes over boulders in the background. No clearly identifiable figure stands out as the principal presider in the visible frame.

Most wear white clothing with red shawls or red scarves, and many hold up small booklets or palm-hands together in prayer. Some sit cross-legged on the rocks while others kneel in the water. Orange and red bags, cloth and personal belongings are scattered on the riverbank. Near the right edge, a man in white with a red shawl stands holding a small book. A woman in the foreground wears a red and blue top.
