Outdoor photograph of a large seated crowd along the stone-lined bank of a still water tank, late light on the water. In the foreground a woman in a plain white sari with long dark hair walks along the steps near the water's edge. Rows of devotees sit in white and cream clothing, many holding small white paper cups, some in pastel and pink saris and kurtas. Trees and a palm frond frame the upper right, and a man in a white shirt stands behind the seated rows. The scene suggests a collective water-offering or drinking ritual on the tank steps.
