Outdoor ghat scene by a river with stone steps and red temple structures. A man seated on a patterned rug, wearing a deep red turban, a red-orange dhoti-style wrap, multiple gold armbands and a heavy gold ornamental necklace with rudraksha-style beads, presses his palms together in anjali with eyes lowered. Before him is a silver puja table draped with bright pink and orange marigold garlands and a red embroidered cloth, with an incense stick and smoke rising, a silver kalasha-like vessel and a decorated silver canopy above. Plates of sweets, flower petals and small brass bowls sit on the rug, and a person in white cross-legged at left tends the offerings. Onlookers stand and sit on the steps behind, several in white or light blue shirts, and an orange cloth bag with white printed text lies on the table. Appears to be a puja or aarti ritual at the river.
