Outdoor ritual photograph at a temple-style setting with banana plants and a tiered canopy of red, white and multicoloured fringed cloth overhead. In the foreground a large blue tank holds water with small metal deity figures floating near the edge. A man in white dhoti and shirt with rudraksha beads presses palms together. Beside him a woman in a blue sari with gold jewellery kneels with hands folded. A figure in saffron-orange robe and turban with long dark hair and rudraksha mala stands at the tank, hands together, appearing to be a person. A photographer with a camera stands at the right, and several onlookers in white and blue are behind. The scene suggests a water-based puja.
