A photograph of a ceremony at a stone-stepped riverside ghat with a dark green water surface reflecting the steps. A line of about twenty people in white dhotis and white garments with yellow borders sits along the lower step at the water's edge, the men with shaved heads and the women with long dark hair. A standing figure in an orange robe and orange cloth wrap holds an open book and reads or leads, while two women in white sit on the upper steps. Rows of potted green plants line the red brick steps behind them, and rose petals float on the water.
