Aerial view of a large group of devotees standing and wading on a sandy riverbank with pebbles, near Gangotri. Many wear orange saffron shawls and orange head cloths, some in white kurtas or dark clothing. Several people are splashing water and gesturing with raised arms, while a central figure in an orange shawl, orange head cloth and rudraksha mala walks through the shallows. Others stand along the rocky edge. Bright sunlight casts sharp shadows across the wet sand.
