A man stands at the edge of a stone-stepped ghat at dusk, palms pressed together in anjali mudra with eyes lowered. He wears a rust-red turban with gold and silver ornaments, a gold necklace of heavy beads and a thick gold pendant, gold bangles, and a leopard-print lower cloth over a rust-red garment. Beside him is a black stone Shiva lingam on a yoni base with a brass vessel. Behind, other people sit on the steps, and one figure's hands are raised in prayer.
