Outdoor scene at a stone-stepped water tank with a reflective green-tinged pool. Seven shaved-headed young men in white dhotis with gold borders sit along the steps with their feet in the water, hands cupped in prayer or holding offerings, some with pink flower petals in their laps. At the far right, a man in an orange robe with a rudraksha mala and orange shawl stands at the edge of the steps. Behind them a woman in white with gold trim holds a silver plate, and an older woman in a red sari sits on the steps. Terracotta pots of plants line the red brick tiers in the background, with a metal railing at left.

On the right, a standing man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl wears a rudraksha mala and holds an open book and a small tray.
