Outdoor photograph at a lakeshore with pale sandy-green ground, low brown mountains and a bright cloudy sky. A woman in the centre wears an orange and red head wrap, a leopard-print shawl, a red blouse and an orange skirt, holding a flat pale plate and smiling. Beside her a man holds a bright orange umbrella over another woman in an orange headscarf and shawl. On the right a man in an orange puffer jacket and black track pants holds a pale plate, and an older man in sunglasses and an orange-red shawl stands further right. Several other people in orange and red clothing stand behind, and a faint purple logo sits in the upper left corner. This looks like a pada puja or tarpanam offering by the water.
