A large group of devotees gathers on a sandy riverbank at dawn, with a muddy stream and rough wooden stakes in the foreground. Many wear white kurtas and dhotis, with saffron or orange shawls and red-orange sashes draped over shoulders; several saffron-robed monks with shaved heads stand among them. A woman in front wears a white kurta with an orange-beaded necklace and carries a small bag. Others carry backpacks and cloth bags, and a few hold brass vessels. Hazy sky and a distant brick building with a red roof frame the scene, with a shaded canopy visible at right.
