A night-time photograph at a riverside ghat. In the foreground a man with long dark hair and a full beard wears a red-orange shawl over saffron-orange robes and stretches both cupped hands toward flowing dark water, apparently offering water or performing a river ritual. Behind him, a bald man in orange and a man with a garland are visible, along with a photographer and other onlookers on the steps and railing. The river surface shows splashing light reflections, with lamp lights and wooden posts receding in the dark background.
