Outdoor ritual at a stone ghat beside a muddy river. A woman with long white hair, wearing white clothing, a green and white lanyard, rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and a gold pendant, bends forward over a row of black shivalingas, holding a gold-coloured metal vessel. Behind her, another white-clad devotee holds a similar gold vessel, and a third person's arm and vessel appear at the left edge. Smooth stone steps and worn tiles surround the scene.
