Outdoors beside a still water tank with a low metal railing and wooden posts, a woman with long dark hair and a white-and-red flower garland stands in a rust-red sari with gold border, one arm extended toward the water. Beside her, two men in orange and saffron robes with saffron shawls look toward the water, one with a shaved head. A tree canopy overhangs a stone-paved edge, and a distant wall and greenery fill the background.
