Riverside ghat scene at Haridwar on the Ganga, with a woman in a teal salwar kameez and orange dupatta sitting under a tarp and umbrella shelter cluttered with bags, bedding and containers. In front of her, a row of leaf-plate offerings decorated with marigold flowers lies on the stone steps. Several men in orange and white cloth bathe in the river behind, and a ribbon-like banner with Hindi text hangs on a railing above. No visible a person candidate is present; the setting shows devotees and pilgrims at the ghat.

July 21 20142014-07-21A riverside ghat at Har ki Pauri, Haridwar, beside a wide green river. Under a black and blue tarpaulin canopy, a man in white kurta and white dhoti sits on a red-stone platform with steel vessels, plates of flowers and offerings in front of him, apparently performing a ritual for visitors. Other men in white sit beside him at the platform, and a woman in a salwar stands at the right under the canopy. A bather stoops in the water at left, and a yellow watchtower and steps with pilgrims stand on the far bank. Red and orange ribbons hang from the canopy. No one is clearly identifiable as a person.2014-03-19July 21 20142014-07-21A photograph of the Har ki Pauri ghat at Haridwar beside the Ganga, with a shallow flowing river at left where a bare-chested boy in pink shorts wades. At right, a seated man in white kurta and orange cloth sits under a black and blue tarpaulin canopy, with metal vessels and leaf plates of flower offerings in front of him. Along the upper bridge and steps, a line of people in mostly white and orange clothing stands watching. A man in a grey jacket holding a camera walks along the water. At the bottom left edge, a partially visible shaved-headed person wears an orange-beaded mala, which is the only visible cue for a possible a person candidate, but the frame is too cropped to confirm appearance.2014-03-19July 21 20142014-07-21 +1 copiesA crowded riverside ghat of muddy brown water with stone steps lined with people, many in saffron and orange clothing. Devotees bathe and wade in the river, some shirtless or in shorts and lungis, while others sit on the steps among scattered clothes and debris. Colourful decorated kanwar-style stands and bamboo frames with pink, green and multicoloured streamers rise along the steps, and black tarpaulin shelters and umbrellas stand in the background beside pink-washed buildings. A woman in red sits at the water's edge. No single identifiable a person figure is clearly visible; the scene shows general pilgrims at a river ghat.2014-07-21July 21 20142014-07-21Outdoor riverside ghat scene in Varanasi with a crowd of devotees gathered at stone steps above water strewn with marigold petals. A figure in a saffron-orange garment with long dark hair kneels at the water's edge while a man in white clothing bends forward beside them, apparently pouring or offering water. Around them stand many people in white and mixed-colour clothing, some with shawls and headwear, and a few holding baskets, under thatched umbrellas. The orange-robed figure shows cues consistent with the page's reference to a person, including long swept hair and saffron clothing, so this is an appearance-based candidate present in person, though the identification is uncertain.2006-01-09July 21 20142014-07-21Outdoor riverside ghat scene at Har Ki Pauri in Haridwar, with stone steps leading down to flowing river water.
