Devotees in white dhotis and white saris with gold borders sit in rows on the stone steps beside a pool, many dipping their feet into the water. A man in white stands on the terraced steps above with one arm raised, while a monk-like figure in an orange-saffron robe sits among the seated group. Terracotta pots with plants line the red-brick terraced steps behind them, with a white metal railing at the edges.

Along the left and centre sit about a dozen shaven-headed young men wearing white dhoti-style cloths, some with bare upper bodies. A standing man in the centre wears an orange-saffron dhoti and orange upper cloth with a beaded mala, holding a sheet of paper and appearing to speak. To the right sit a row of young women in white saris and white clothing. Behind them, a woman in white stands on the red-brick tiered steps lined with potted plants, and another woman in white sits among the planters. Red steps and potted plants form the backdrop.2015-11-16November 16 20152015-11-16A photograph of a riverside or tank ghat with red stone steps lined with potted plants. Many people in white dhotis and saris with gold borders sit along the stone edge and step toward the water, with rose petals floating on the surface. A man in an orange-saffron cloth bends forward at the water's edge, while another man in a shaved-head, orange robe sits on the steps. A man in white with a rudraksha mala stands on the steps, and a woman in white stands nearby holding a small vessel. Reflections of the white-clad group shimmer on the water.2015-11-16November 16 20152015-11-16
