Outdoor photograph of devotees bathing in the Narmada river at Omkareshwar, with rocky banks, hillside buildings, a concrete bridge and a dam-like structure in the background. In the centre, a bare-chested man with long, dark, wet hair wears a red-brown dhoti and stands waist-deep in the water, a rudraksha mala draped around his neck. Beside him a man in a white dhoti and red beaded necklace covers his face with his hands. A man in a yellow shirt grins at left, and a man in an orange robe stands at right with hands folded. Several women in white and orange saris and a line of seated, hands-joined devotees on the riverbank watch from the foreground. Water splashes around the figures.
