A photograph of a fast-flowing, murky grey-green river rushing between large grey boulders in a mountain gorge. On the left bank, stone steps and a retaining wall lead up to a row of multi-storey buildings with pitched roofs and blue tarpaulin awnings, where many people in mixed clothing gather along the railings and steps. On the right, a rock face with sparse green vegetation rises beside the water, and people stand along a stone walkway above. The scene suggests a riverside ghat in hill country, with many visitors but no clearly identifiable ritual activity visible.
