A photograph taken at a riverside ghat where a sannyasi in saffron-orange cloth sits on the stone steps with palms pressed together in namaste, a trident (trishul) resting beside him and a brass kalasha-style pot near his feet. He has long dark hair and bare shoulders. Beside him a young man in a purple shirt and jeans, wearing a beaded bracelet, sits with hands folded. Behind them devotees in white clothes stand at the water's edge, and several people wade into the river. The water is calm and brownish, and the scene suggests a ritual bathing or prayer at the river.

A long-haired man in an orange saffron robe sits cross-legged with his bare feet in the water, hands raised in a ritual gesture. Beside him stands a brass kalasha vessel. Around him, people in white dhotis and white clothes kneel and stand on the steps, one holding a steel bowl, and others in jackets and caps watch, one photographing with a camera. Wooden boats and oars rest on the river behind, with people in hooded coats on the bank.January 06 20062006-01-06 +1 copiesJanuary 05 20062006-01-052006 - Glimpses From Varanasi YatraJanuary 05 20062006-01-05January 06 20062006-01-06 +1 copies2006 - Glimpses From Varanasi Yatra
