Large crowd of devotees gathered on the steps and at the water's edge of a riverside ghat at dusk, many seated in rows facing a central figure standing in the river. Many people raise mobile phones to photograph the scene. Several men wear white kurtas and some women wear saris and salwar in red, pink and yellow. A stone shrine with a tall spire stands at right, and a red temple tower and multi-storey buildings with advertising billboards line the far bank. Lamps glow along the ghat and the water reflects the lights.
