Photograph at a riverbank ghat on a sunny day, with a wide river and distant crowds behind. A long-haired man in an orange-saffron robe sits on a folded blue cloth, placing his hands on the face of a kneeling man in a grey knit sweater and blue jeans, who is barefoot. Behind them a small blue bag rests on the stone steps. A partially visible person at the left edge holds a pen or stick near the edge of the frame. The kneeling man is being blessed or touched in a ritual gesture at the water's edge.

A figure in saffron-orange robes sits on a cloth mat on the stone bank, placing a hand on the head of a kneeling man in a white shirt and blue jeans, who is bent forward with bare feet. A second man in a white jacket sits in the lower left foreground, partly visible, with a red and white calendar-style placard beside him. The saffron-robed figure has long dark hair swept back; the visible cues are the orange clothing and long hair, but the identity is uncertain from appearance, so the figure is described by role as a priest performing a blessing on the kneeling devotee.2006-01-08January 08 20062006-01-08January 08 20062006-01-08A photograph at a riverbank with a wide grey river and a pale stone embankment.

A long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes and a pale shawl sits on a low seat, hands raised in a gesture, facing the water; a white-clad devotee bends forward in front of them, with another person's dark hair visible at the lower edge.
