Outdoor photo of a water ceremony at a stepped tank. A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron robe, a red-orange garland and ornate gold-trimmed red seat, sits enthroned on a decorated golden throne framed by a floral arch of orange and white flowers. Around him, many men in white dhotis and yellow shawls wade waist-deep in the water, several lifting a figure in a red-orange robe overhead toward the throne. A bald man in an orange robe stands on the steps at left with raised hands. Water splashes everywhere; a small deity murti garlanded with flowers stands at the throne's left side.

A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a long red-and-white garland sits on the throne, appearing to be a person by visible cues of saffron clothing and a central ceremonial placement. Around the platform, several people stand waist-deep in water: devotees in white and yellow-shawled ritual dress, a man in pink robes with rudraksha beads, a man in orange robes, and a woman in a red-and-grey sari with palms pressed together. One devotee in white kneels and bows in the water while another in white rests a hand on him. Tiered red-brick seating and trees are visible behind.2010-10-17Outdoor photo at a red-stepped amphitheatre-style pool where devotees stand waist-deep in water for a Dasara celebration.
