Men bathe in the brown, fast-moving river at a crowded riverside ghat in Haridwar. Three men stand waist-deep in the water in the foreground, one shirtless with a dark wet head and another wearing a white sacred thread. Behind them, a large crowd of people fills the stone steps of the ghat, many standing, some in white, and a row of people line the water's edge. A pink-painted stone embankment with arched balustrades, a small temple shrine with a domed spire on the left, and hillside trees rise behind. Billboards with Nokia and other advertisements and street lamps stand above the ghat. No a person candidate is visible in the scene.
