A wide photograph of a riverside ghat along a fast-flowing river in Haridwar, with a large crowd of people gathered on the stone steps. Many people in white clothing stand and sit along the steps at the water's edge, some carrying yellow and orange items and small ceremonial objects. Behind them are red-and-white temple shrines with domed spires, and a row of hotel buildings with red balconies and commercial hoardings. A small white domed shrine stands at the right edge. The river water in the foreground is brownish-grey and rippled.
