A misty, pale grey river scene at a ghat, with calm water stretching across the frame. On the right, a red sandstone building with domed cupolas and a small balcony rises above the riverbank, next to a pink and white shrine spire. A low stone parapet and steps line the foreground, with a few small boats moored at the left edge. Only a couple of tiny figures are visible on the steps and bank, one person cycling along the lower left, and the pale haze obscures the far shore.
