A photograph of a ritual washing outdoors in a temple courtyard. A bearded man with long dark hair and a red-brown sannyasi wrap sits on a stone step, his bare feet resting in a large round brass vessel of water while a woman in an orange garment and dreadlocked hair leans over the vessel pouring and washing. Another bare-chested man on the left wears a white dhoti and a large Om mark on his chest, and a thin sacred thread. Behind them are stone pillars, a red-painted wall, a bronze deity murti of a seated figure, and an electric desk fan.
