A photograph taken from a wooden boat on a river at dusk, with a group of visitors seated closely together in winter jackets, hoodies, caps and scarves, facing the shore. The boatman at the left wears a dark jacket and tan clothing. On the bank, a crowd of people in wrapped shawls and warm layers stands and squats among stacked firewood and scattered orange marigold petals near the water's edge. A stone ghat with a railing rises behind them, and a pile of logs fills the upper right. No a person candidate is visible.
