A photograph of devotees bathing in a stone-walled sacred tank at a temple. Several shirtless men stand waist-deep in the water, wearing saffron-orange cloths and layered rudraksha malas; several have matted hair and one has tilak marks on the forehead. Two men at centre-right have their palms pressed together in anjali mudra. At the left, a woman in a red-brown sari stands behind a rock smeared with turmeric and garlanded with yellow and pink flowers, and another flower-garlanded rock stands in the foreground. Pink pillars and a metal railing frame the tank.
