A wide photograph of a crowded riverside ghat in Haridwar on a cloudy day, with the brown river in the foreground. Many people, mostly men in shorts and bare-chested, bathe and wade in the water while others stand on the wet stone steps and walkway. A tall red-and-white clock tower stands on the left, and white and saffron-topped temple shrines line the ghat on the right. Streetlamps, billboards and multi-storey buildings fill the background. Some people wear white and orange clothing and carry bags. No identifiable a person figure is visible in the scene.
