A large crowd of devotees stands waist-deep in water, many in white ritual clothes and some in red garments. A central figure with long wet black hair, wearing a red garment and a white flower garland, is submerged in the water and turned toward a golden trident held upright by another devotee in white. Smiling men and a woman in red surround them, with a rudraksha-style mala visible on one man. The setting appears to be a river or sacred water body with a sense of ritual immersion.
