A large crowd of devotees sits in tiered rows on stone steps beside a rectangular water tank, a manasarovar-style pond, under an overcast sky. Most wear white clothing and white head bands, with some in orange, saffron and pink garments. In the foreground at the lower right, a few people in yellow and white sit on mats near the water's edge, apparently taking part in a padha-pooja. A red boat sits at the left edge of the water, and palm trees and a utility pole stand behind the stepped wall.
