In the foreground on a red-carpeted platform, a man with grey hair tied back, wearing a brown vest over a beige kurta, stands facing the river. Seated beside him in white clothes, a man sits near a small silver kalasha on a cloth-covered stand, and nearby devotees sit with offerings in brass plates of flowers, fruit and sweets. Behind them a red-and-orange temple stands on the right, with a red-and-white clock tower and a bridge visible in the distance, and colourful canopies line the far bank. The text on the temple reads Shri Ganga Sabha Mandir.
