A bare-chested man with shaved head and white tilak on his forehead, wearing an orange dhoti and a rudraksha mala, stands on the steps holding a yellow object and a wooden stick. Beside him a woman in an orange saree and a beaded mala stands watching, while another woman in a red and gold saree bends over the steps, washing or cleaning them. Red flags on poles and a chain-link railing are behind them, and a blue bucket sits on a higher step. Several more people in orange clothing are partly visible at the top and bottom edges. No a person candidate is clearly identifiable from appearance.
