Outdoor photo of a ritual at a riverside stone shrine. A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala and a large gold necklace walks toward a stone Shiva lingam with a small nandi bull on a white platform, carrying a staff. Around him, devotees in orange, a man in a green shirt and white dhoti with folded hands, and a white-clad man holding a fan-shaped ceremonial item stand near a red-and-gold umbrella and banner poles. Photographers with cameras stand at left and right, and a muddy river flows behind a pink-walled ghat with trees on the far bank. Probable Swamiji is the long-haired saffron-robed figure, whose cues include long swept hair, saffron clothing, a rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace.
