Three men stand waist-deep in water at the edge of a temple tank, wearing unstitched white dhotis with gold borders and bare upper bodies. The man on the left, with his head shaved except for a small tuft, bends forward while water is poured over his head from above. The man in the centre, bald, holds his hands out in front of him, and the man on the right, bald and wearing blue-tinted glasses, holds his hands together near his chest. Behind them a dark stone structure, red-painted stone walls and a metal railing frame the tank. The scene appears to be a ritual bath or abhishekam-style purification.2015-11-16December 23 20162016-12-23December 23 20162016-12-23Three young men in white dhotis stand outdoors before an orange curtain and a red-and-gold decorated panel, with a carved stone pillar at right.
