Several inflatable rafts are pulled up to the Omkarananda Ghat on the Ganga in Haridwar, with people in white clothes and red life jackets stepping off and handling paddles. A blue raft sits closest to the steps; a man in a light shirt carries a basket on his head along the stone steps. Tall red-stone ghat buildings with signs for Omkarananda Ghat and Omkarananda Ashram stand behind, with trees and parked cars on the upper road.
