A large outdoor gathering of devotees sits on the bank of a river at dusk, with a steel truss bridge on concrete piers spanning the water behind them. Most people wear white dhotis and kurtas with rust-red saffron-toned shawls draped over their shoulders, many with tilak marks on their foreheads and rudraksha malas. Several figures in front raise their hands in gestures of prayer or chanting, and a few hold small brass plates with offerings. A camera operator on a tripod films from the centre-right.
