A bare-chested person with wet dark hair plunges or splashes through turbulent, churning brown water. One arm reaches up above the surface, and a wooden pole or stick extends diagonally from the top of the frame. Spray and water droplets fill the scene. The figure's appearance is not clearly visible enough to confirm identity, and no distinctive ceremonial cues such as saffron clothing, malas or crown are apparent.

Behind him at left another man sits partly submerged, with a small lit lamp floating on the water. In the background a wooden boat with a canopy and a few seated people sits on the hazy river under a pale sky.
