Photograph of a riverbank landing at the Triveni Sangam in Allahabad, with several wooden ferry boats drawn up on sand. One boat has the painted name "Bank of Baroda" on its side. A group of people in mostly white and red-brown clothing, including a woman in orange and a man in an orange-and-black knit cap, stands and boards near the boats. Long bamboo poles stand upright among the boats, and more boats and birds are visible on the hazy river behind.

Two tall orange poles with yellow flags and a horizontal orange crossbar frame the scene. A large crowd of devotees sits on the stone steps wrapped in shawls, blankets and woollen caps. In the centre foreground, a figure in an orange-saffron robe with long dark hair sits facing the group, with a few standing people in dark jackets and a man in a white shawl behind. Several devotees in woollen caps, orange and maroon shawls are seated close together along the steps.2006-01-09February 13 20132013-02-13January 09 20062006-01-09A photograph of a riverside ghat at Triveni Sangam, Allahabad, with a line of wooden ferry boats moored along the water under a hazy winter sky.

Several people crowd the shore: a figure in an orange-saffron top and dhoti-style wrap stands at left, a man in white kurta and dhoti is at left edge, and a man in a grey hooded jacket and white head cloth carries a pink bag at centre-right. Others in woollen sweaters and caps stand near the boats.
