A waterfall cascades down a moss-covered rock face at left, with a fallen dark log slanting across the frame above a pool. On a rocky ledge at right, several saffron-robed men in orange and gold-bordered dhotis stand in a line; one has a shaved head and a red-and-pink floral garland, another holds a red suitcase. A man in a white shirt and trousers photographs with a camera, and another person stands at right in a red shawl. Small figures bathe in the water at lower left. Offerings of flowers lie on the rock.

He wears an orange-red shawl over bare shoulders, a saffron-orange dhoti with a broad gold border, gold bangles on his upper arms and wrists, and a long pink-and-white flower garland hanging to his waist. His hands are clasped behind him. In the foreground pool, a group of people wearing white and orange garments stand waist-deep in the water, some holding long staffs, facing the falls. Mist rises from the cascade and sunlight glows through the trees.2014-12-17A photograph at a rocky waterfall pool in a forest setting. In the centre a bare-backed man in a rust-red and gold-bordered dhoti, with a thick gold-beaded garland around his neck, bends forward at the water's edge to scoop water with his hands, his back and arms marked with white ash. To the left a young boy in an orange robe with a garland sits on a boulder. Behind them a man in white clothes stands near the falls, and a devotee in maroon and gold stands at right holding a dark bag. Dark wet boulders and green foliage surround the pool.2014-12-17January 30 20092009-01-30December 17 20142014-12-17January 30 20092009-01-30December 17 20142014-12-17A forest stream flows over dark rocks beneath dense green jungle foliage. In the center, a person with long hair tied back, wearing a rust-red garment and a gold-coloured flower garland, bends forward at the water's edge with bare feet on the stones. A man in a saffron-orange robe sits on a rock behind, with a woman in dark clothing nearby and a woman in white seated on rocks at left. At right edge, a bare-chested man wears a red-and-gold cloth and a dark shoulder bag. The scene suggests a devotional bathing or ritual practice in the river.2014-12-17
