A photograph at a riverside ghat with a small smoldering fire of logs on the dusty bank behind. Four men bend at the water's edge. The man on the far left wears a white shirt and dark trousers, the man beside him wears a brown and beige striped sweater and light trousers, the man in a white shirt with a yellow headwrap is bent over the offerings, and the man on the right wears a bright orange sweater and dark trousers. They are handling and sorting heaps of orange and red marigold flower garlands, orange and yellow cloth, and scattered petals on the wet ground. Plastic bags, litter and dry straw surround the area.
