A seated man in a red-orange robe sits on an ornate gilded throne decorated with red, yellow, purple and white flower garlands, at the base of a stepped red-and-white structure. He wears thick white and red flower garlands around his neck and smiles. Two men in red robes kneel and lean in at the foot of the throne, one bending low near his feet. Behind them, women in white saris and men in white dhotis stand near the steps, and a flower-decorated pillar frames the scene. The setting suggests a ritual honouring at a water-side ghat with a garlanded seat.

The throne is decorated with marigolds, palm fronds and floral swags, and a golden trident stands at each side. Around it, many people wade and stand waist-deep in the water: white-clad devotees, men in orange and saffron robes, and a few shaved-headed priests in orange. Some hold brass kalasha pots and lift offerings, and a spray of water rises at the left edge. This appears to be a holy dip ceremony, with the seated figure carried on a decorated raft-like platform through the sacred water.2010-01-02 +1 copiesJune 09 20092009-06-09January 02 20102010-01-02 +1 copiesJanuary 02 20102010-01-02 +1 copies
