Beside him, a long-haired figure in orange-brown robes with a rudraksha mala stands with palms joined in namaskar, and several women in orange and red saris stand on the steps with hands folded in prayer. Tiered seating lines the water to the right. Some people are only partly visible at the frame edges.
