Outdoors on stone ghat steps beside a broad river under a clear blue sky, a procession of saffron-robed sadhus moves along the bank. A man in the center wears a long orange-brown robe, a rudraksha mala and a rust-coloured shawl, holding a long trident-topped staff; another in the foreground carries an orange umbrella aloft. Several figures in orange and maroon robes walk behind, while devotees in white and casual clothes sit or stand on the steps among bags, sandals and a bundle of marigold-like offerings. Hills and buildings line the far shore.
