Photograph taken from the river of a forested hillside above a wide, muddy-brown river. On the slope stand a cluster of rounded, beehive-shaped stone or concrete domes and a multi-storey building with balconies, partly hidden by green trees. At the water's edge a long concrete ghat with a low red-roofed pavilion or shelter, and a white building further left. No people are visible. The scene appears to be a riverside ashram or sadhu settlement on a Himalayan foothill river bank.
