A photograph of a riverside ghat at Triveni Sangam, Allahabad, with a line of wooden ferry boats moored along the water under a hazy winter sky. Bamboo poles stand upright along the bank. In the foreground an overturned, weathered boat hull with partly faded painted lettering dominates the lower frame. Several people crowd the shore: a figure in an orange-saffron top and dhoti-style wrap stands at left, a man in white kurta and dhoti is at left edge, and a man in a grey hooded jacket and white head cloth carries a pink bag at centre-right. Others in woollen sweaters and caps stand near the boats. A man in a dark jacket holds up a large printed portrait on a pole, showing a figure in ornate clothing, though its details are not clearly legible.
