Outdoor river ritual in a forest setting. A central figure in a red-orange turban and a garland of white and yellow flowers stands in shallow water, with a long-haired figure in a red-orange garment nearby. Around them, devotees in white clothes with red-orange shawls kneel or stand in the stream, many holding brass plates and small lamps. Oil lamps burn in the foreground on a rock, and brass offering trays with fruit and small cups sit at the lower edge. Tall red and orange umbrellas and a red-orange flag are visible on the bank, and a few onlookers stand at the back.
