Several wooden ferry boats travel across choppy brown river water under a hazy pale sky, with a white bird flying above them. Passengers sit closely packed in the boats, many women wearing white, blue and orange saris and headscarves, and a man in a checked shirt rows at the right edge while another rower works an oar at the far right. Trees and a distant shoreline appear in the mist. The boats are painted red, blue and orange. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance.
