A photograph of many people seated and standing on red stone ghat steps beside a river. Devotees in white dhotis and white kurtas, some with yellow or orange shawls, sit with palms pressed together in prayer. Several women in white saris with yellow borders kneel, and a woman in an orange sari sits near the top. Near the lower right, shaven-headed men in white dhotis with red shawls stand in a row, hands folded, beside rows of brass kalasha pots set out on the steps. A woman holds a bright green umbrella at left. A steel vessel and a brass pot sit among the steps, and a white sack lies at the right edge. The gathering appears to be a ritual abhishekam or puja by the water.
