Evening Ganga Aarti at a riverside ghat, with a large crowd of devotees seated on the steps and standing along the bank. Several priests in white dhotis and shirts stand on raised platforms holding lit flame lamps aloft toward the dark river, whose surface reflects the orange light. A small domed shrine stands at left and a pink and white temple-like structure at right. Commercial signs and a hotel building rise above the steps, and the water is in the foreground with more people seated along its edge. No individual is identifiable as a person.
