A photograph taken from inside a open-framed ferry boat on a hazy river at Triveni Sangam. A boatman in a grey jacket and white shawl stands at the stern steering with a long oar, a man in a white cloth wraps and turban sits near him, and a woman in a white headscarf sits at left. In the foreground a person in a bright orange hooded top and orange gloves raises an arm toward the water, while other passengers sit on the bench in orange, teal and red clothing. A white curved canopy frame arches overhead, and other boats are visible on the water. No candidate for a person's appearance is clearly identifiable, so no identification is made.
