A photograph of a crowd of devotees gathered on wide stone steps beside a fast-flowing river. Many people wear saffron and orange robes, while others wear white kurtas and sarees. Some sit in rows on the steps, and a few stand along the upper walkway of a red and white temple pavilion. A small shrine with a red-roofed kiosk and a stone deity murti stands at the right edge, with orange flags beside it. Yellow and orange flags are visible near the shrine. Blue and white posts with a rope line separate the steps from the rushing water. A bearded man in an orange robe sits near the center of the steps, and a man in white stands at the left side with a camera raised.
