Devotees bathe in the Narmada river at Omkareshwar at dusk. In the centre, a person with long wet dark hair bends forward, head submerged, water splashing up from their face. To the left, a man with a bare upper body and a red-and-white sacred thread around his neck smiles toward them. Behind them, a crowd of onlookers stands on the riverbank and in the shallows, including several people in orange and saffron clothing and a woman in a maroon sari with gold jewellery holding a small brass vessel. Hillside houses and trees rise in the background under a pale evening sky.
