Photograph of two boats on a wide river under a pale hazy sky. On the right, a white-and-red boat carries several people in saffron and orange robes and white clothing; one saffron-robed man stands at the rail pointing toward the water, and a man in a grey t-shirt stands in the foreground. A cameraman appears at the right edge. On the left, a blue-and-white striped boat carries passengers in mixed clothing, including a woman in a red sari, and a man leans from its side. Speakers and a black case sit on the boats. The scene suggests a river crossing with a group travelling by water.
