Photograph of a small open-sided shrine pavilion with a pitched tiled roof at a riverside, with a large red-orange Om symbol emblem hung above its roof and a saffron flag on a pole. Inside the pavilion's front, a red-carpeted platform holds a few people in orange and white clothing. A group of visitors climbs an orange-railed concrete path toward it: a woman in a dark jacket with a backpack, a man in white with a red shawl, a woman in a long grey coat, and a small child in a red jacket. Trees frame the scene on both sides, with pale sandbanks and a river beyond. Printed signs on the pavilion and railings show Hindi text.
