A hazy dawn or dusk view over a broad river with the sun a pale orange disc low in a smoggy sky. Bamboo poles and a boat stand in the foreground at a riverside ghat. A man in a dark jacket and white cap stands at the water's edge beside another person in a pink top. A woman in a blue headscarf and red top bends low near the bank. A small red-and-blue flag flies from a boat, and a yellow tarpaulin lies over a moored boat. Distant riverfront structures are faintly visible across the water.

Along the sandy shore, small figures stand near bamboo platforms, wooden poles and draped cloths, including red and orange fabric. Distant tree line and a few boats are faint on the far bank.

Dozens of people sit in a crowd along the steps in the foreground, many wrapped in white and grey shawls and woollen caps, one woman in a bright orange-red shawl at right.
