Outdoor riverside ghat scene with a seated figure in saffron-orange robes, rudraksha mala beads, tilak on the forehead, and orange-and-white marigold garlands, sitting on a red-and-patterned mat before a silver ceremonial stand decorated with flowers. Beside them, a bald monk in orange robes and sunglasses holds a silver trident-topped staff, and another orange-robed sadhu stands at right. Behind them, many people in white clothes stand and sit on steps by a river, with a white domed temple, red flags and a bridge in the background. Some people bathe in the water at left. The seated figure's appearance (long swept hair, saffron robes, ornate ritual garlands and mala cues) is consistent with a person in the central seated role, but identity is uncertain.
