Photograph of a riverside ghat ritual at a stone platform, with people in orange saffron clothing. In the foreground a bearded man in a saffron turban and saffron robes, wearing a rudraksha mala, holds a tall wooden staff and reaches toward a tray of small oil lamps set on a grated stone. Behind him a young man in orange kneels and tends the lamps, and a woman in orange kneels at left holding a brass plate with marigold petals. Several devotees in orange shawls and white or blue clothing watch from behind, one woman in a blue salwar with a red bindi. Brass vessels and a small copper pot sit near the lamps, and a blue railing chain runs along the left edge. The people count is limited to those visible in the scene.

Photograph at a riverside ghat in the Himalayan yatra. In the lower right, a man in orange saffron robes and an orange turban sits on the step, with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala draped over his chest, gesturing outward with one arm toward the water. In front of him, a row of small clay lamps with lit wicks and marigold petals sits on the stone edge, with a brass vessel beside them. To the left, a flame is visible on the water's edge. Behind, a line of devotees in orange and white clothing stands along a blue-and-white railing with a chain, some bending forward, and a few people are dressed in white trousers.
