A river ghat along a wide, muddy-brown river beneath a pink-painted concrete bridge with railings. Several men stand at the water's edge beside a chain railing and wooden posts: one in a grey sleeveless vest and dark shorts, one bare-chested in orange shorts, and another in a yellow shirt. Further along the steps, a woman in a pink and multicoloured sari stands near clothes laid out on the stone. Crowds of people stand along the bridge and on the far bank, and a hillside with trees and buildings rises behind under overcast sky. Flip-flops lie on the wet steps and scattered litter marks the ghat.
