Evening photograph of a dense crowd gathered on the steps and banks of a river at dusk, many people seated and facing the water. Lamps are lit along the riverbank and on a long bridge spanning the river, and reflections of warm light shimmer on the water. Red and white temple structures with spires line the far shore, and a lookout tower stands at the left. Many attendees wear white, pink, orange, and yellow saris and kurtas, and some hold small lamps. The scene resembles a river ghat ceremony in Haridwar, Uttarakhand, with a large gathering attending an evening ritual.
