A photograph at a riverside ghat shows a person in a red garment bending low over the water, lowering or pouring something into the river. Small boats are moored along the bank behind them, and the light is bright and hazy. The scene suggests a ritual offering at the Triveni Sangam confluence in Allahabad, though only one figure is visible.
