A photograph of a group descending a broad stone ghat staircase toward the riverfront in Varanasi, with a white multi-tiered temple behind them bearing a signboard reading Guru Sanvas Mandir. In the centre, a tall man with long swept-back dark hair and a white tilak on his forehead wears a saffron-orange dhoti and a matching orange shawl, with a rudraksha mala around his neck and a gold necklace; he is the most prominent figure. To his right, a woman in a white sari, then a bald man in white dhoti and white kurta with an orange cloth and a small bag over his shoulder, carrying a bundle of sticks. Further right, a man in white kurta pyjama and two men in green and orange-checked lungi with orange cloths walk down the steps. A tree and a thatched shade stand at the right edge, and a few distant figures appear near the temple entrance on the left, with a man in a white kurta at the left edge. Six to eight people are visible.
