A wide photograph of a riverside ghat on the Ganga at Haridwar, seen from the water under a bright hazy sky with the low sun glaring off the rippling current. Red and white temple shrines with domed and spired roofs line the steps, with a tall lamp post in the centre. Several small groups of people stand and move along the stone steps and landing, mostly in light clothing, while large billboards and multi-storey buildings rise on the hillside behind. A white dome and a Nokia advertisement board are visible on the right. No individual can be clearly picked out as a specific person.
