Night view of a riverside ghat with several small boats in the foreground on dark water. Three or four people sit in the nearer boat wearing dark, pink and white clothing. Oil lamps and flames glow on the stone steps and terraces of the ghat, with illuminated temple-like structures and buildings behind, and street lights at upper right. The scene appears to be an evening river ceremony but no specific ritual is clearly shown. No clearly identifiable a person candidate is visible.

At the water's edge a large fire blazes on a platform while small groups of people stand and sit on the steps and in boats nearby. Several small flames glow along the bank.
