A wide daytime view of a river in Haridwar under an overcast grey sky. In the foreground a red-brick promenade runs along the right bank beside a rusty red metal railing that rises out of the flowing water. A small figure crouches near the edge of the walkway on the far right. Across the water, red-painted stone ghats with steps lead up to a white gateway and a cluster of trees. A concrete road bridge with several piers spans the river in the background, with vehicles visible on its deck. No ritual activity or a person candidate is visible.

A pinkish-red stone wall with a green plant on top stands at the right edge. Green trees and vegetation line the far bank, with some small structures and blue tarpaulins visible beyond. No people are visible in the scene.

A wide, muddy brown river flows across the frame under an overcast grey sky. A dark metal railing on red posts runs horizontally across the water, partly submerged. Dense green trees and tall grass line the far bank. No people are visible in the scene.

A wide photograph of a fast-flowing, muddy grey-brown river with choppy white-capped ripples across most of the frame. Along the far bank, a white boundary wall stands above a short red-edged stone stairway leading down to the water. Two or three small figures in orange clothing stand near the stairs and on the rocky shoreline, and a few rocks and sparse greenery line the bank. A large grey boulder sits in the water at lower right.

A photograph of a shallow, fast-moving river with clear turquoise-grey water over a pebbled bed, taken from the bank. A long concrete embankment with a railing runs along the far side, with trees, a small orange-painted shrine structure, and a low building behind it. Green leaves of a tree overhang the left foreground. No people are visible.

A wide daytime photograph of a river flowing through a hazy valley at Haridwar. The murky green-grey water runs across the frame, with a concrete ghat ledge in the lower left. Dry brown grasses, green shrubs and a leafy tree line the far bank, and a utility pole with wires crosses the upper area. Low, dusty brown hills rise behind. Two or three people sit on the ghat edge at the bottom, seen mostly from behind and partly cut off by the frame.

A photograph taken from a railing-side viewpoint across a wide, calm river or canal flowing toward the distance under a pale hazy sky. Pink metal railings and a red-painted vertical post frame the foreground. Along the right bank stand tall green trees, low shrubs, and a small white-roofed structure with a green panel near stone-lined steps descending to the water, where small boats are moored. On the left bank, grassy embankments and scattered trees line the water. No people are visible.
