A large crowd of men and boys bathes in a wide, fast-flowing river with murky grey-brown water. On the right, many people stand on stone steps along the bank, some in white, some in colourful shirts and a woman in a purple garment, while others wade and swim. On the left, a dense crowd gathers near a flight of steps beside pink-walled buildings and a bridge. Many bathers are bare-chested, and a few men tug at a rope near the water's edge. The scene is a riverside ghat, with no visible deity, ritual fire or stage.
