A large group of devotees dressed in orange and saffron garments sits on a pale gravel riverbank, their shawls and clothing bright against the grey stones. Many wear orange head coverings and some hold water bottles. In the background, stepped concrete ghats lead up to a town of buildings and white temple domes on a steep wooded hillside. A woman in a dark top and pink trousers sits in the foreground beside a backpack, while a standing figure in an orange wrap stands at left. The scene appears to be a pilgrimage gathering at a Himalayan river site.
