A photograph at dusk of several small wooden boats moored side by side on a calm, dark river. The central boat has white-painted cabin boxes with red lettering reading सरस्ती (Saraswati), and the boat on the right has a box reading जमुना (Jamuna). Orange flags are tied to bamboo poles on the left boat, and a tall lamp post stands over the water. Thin ropes tie the boats together against a deep blue evening sky with a distant tree line. No people are visible.
