A large group of people stands and sits on a stone ghat at the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswathi rivers at Triveni Sangam, Allahabad, under hazy morning light. Many wear white or pale clothing, with a few in orange and saffron garments and some women with covered heads. A figure in orange sits near small brass or steel ritual vessels and offerings on the steps at the lower right, possibly for puja. Calm water and a distant shoreline stretch behind the crowd.
