Devotees stand and bend at the edge of a stone-lined temple pool, dipping their hands and feet into the water. A man on the left wears a white shirt, black dhoti with a gold-bordered edge, and a dark shawl over his shoulder. Beside him a woman in white clothes and a red shawl leans forward to touch the water, and another woman in white with long dark hair bends toward the surface. Red-painted steps with white railings and pots of plants frame the pool, with other people in red robes visible on the steps behind.
