A photograph taken on a misty riverbank at a ghat, with boats moored along the water. In the foreground a long-haired man in an orange-saffron shawl and orange clothing sits at the water's edge, pouring water from a pale vessel into the river. Behind him, several people in white and blue stand close to the bank, and a bare-chested man bathes in the water to the right. A white-clad figure stands on a boat deck in the background, and a pale sky and fog fill the upper frame.

Behind him a line of standing people in white and grey garments and shawls stands at the water's edge, and an older man in a light blue robe sits on the steps with his hands near the water.
