A photograph of a riverside or temple-tank bathing scene, with a central man in a red-orange turban, rudraksha mala and heavy gold pendant necklace, wearing an orange-red dhoti with gold border and holding hands with a shaved-headed man in saffron robes below. Around them several saffron-clad priests wear gold ornaments and white tripundra marks on their foreheads. Behind them, many devotees bathe and stand in water, including women in saris and men shirtless or in white. The central figure matches the ceremonial cues the page describes, so this is a person appearance.
