A photograph of a riverside ghat with stone steps descending to a flowing river. Under a red-pillared shelter with a decorated white ceiling, several saffron-robed sannyasis and white-clad devotees perform rites; one orange-robed figure bends over a low platform near a small fire or brazier and offering items, while others stand nearby. Painted yellow signs with Devanagari text hang on the walls. A statue of a seated deity is visible at the upper right beside red flags. Several bystanders stand or sit on the steps, and a man in a checked shirt walks down toward the water.
