A red motorised boat with a blue canopy carries roughly a dozen seated passengers across a wide, greyish-green river. A pilot sits at the stern near the outboard motor. On the far bank, stone ghat steps lead up to buildings, with a green-roofed structure and a small white kiosk visible. The scene is a daytime river crossing with no ritual activity shown.

A photograph of a long white boat with green and red trim and a canopy crosses a wide river under a hazy sky. Around two dozen people sit on benches under the canopy, many in white or saffron-orange clothing, some wearing orange scarves and head coverings. A boatman in a light shirt stands at the stern handling an outboard motor, and hills with scattered buildings rise behind the water. Red Hindi lettering on the hull reads dham. No individual can be identified as the a person from appearance here, so the a person field is unsure.

A red wooden boat with a tall pole and red flag carries a group of about twenty-five people across a calm, misty river at dawn or dusk. Several passengers sit on the red-trimmed benches, many holding cameras or phones and photographing the water. Two men stand at the bow and stern, one in a blue shirt on the right near the stern, and a man in a plaid shirt at the front holds a long pole. Another small boat with passengers is visible in the distance. The water is smooth, reflecting the pale sky, and a faint treeline lies on the far bank.

A river landscape photo of a turquoise river with a red boat with a blue canopy carrying a group of passengers across the water. Behind it, stone ghat steps lead up to a long multi-storey building with red and white trim, and a white multi-tiered temple with a red and gold spire rises on a wooded hillside. A few people sit and stand on the steps near a small umbrella. No a person is visible; the scene shows only riverside ghats, a passenger boat and a hilltop temple.

A wide river scene with a long yellow motorboat carrying a small group of people under a grey canopy, moving across brownish water toward the right. Behind is a steep forested hill, with temple buildings and a white tower visible on the left bank beside a ghat. The sky is pale and hazy with scattered clouds. The people are seated under the canopy and appear to be passengers, with no ritual activity visible.

Photograph of a crowded wooden ferry boat on the river at the Triveni Sangam near Allahabad, with rust-coloured bamboo railings running across the frame. Many passengers sit closely packed: a woman in a red jacket and maroon skirt at left, a man in a brown hooded jacket in the foreground, a woman in an orange top, and several women wrapped in white and cream shawls, one in a turquoise outfit with a white head covering. A man in a grey jacket holds a framed picture on his lap. Other boats crowd the water behind, with a sandy bank and hazy sky in the background.

A covered wooden boat with a tarpaulin roof carries a group of about fifteen people across a wide river in hazy light. Several passengers wear white clothes, and some wear saffron or orange garments, while a boatman in white stands at the stern with an oar. Wooded hills and a town of white and cream buildings line the far bank. The boat has red and green striped sides with Hindi lettering painted on its hull.

Two larger white and blue passenger boats with green and orange hulls carry many people in orange and white clothing and red or orange headwear; some passengers wave. A smaller orange-hulled boat in the foreground has two men seated at the stern, one in a white shirt and one in a red cap, with water bottles beside them. Behind the river, stepped ghats and old multi-storey buildings with red and pink facades rise above the water.

A wide river photo taken from the water looking toward a hillside town on a hazy day. Muddy brown river water fills the foreground. On the far bank, a row of white and pastel buildings, ghats and a tall tower sit at the base of forested green hills.
