Four men stand together on a sandy riverbank in hazy morning light. Three wear rust-brown dhoti-style garments with yellow borders and gold-coloured ceremonial necklaces, one bare-chested with a gold chain. The man on the right wears long flowing saffron-orange robes and holds a white cloth, standing with hands clasped in front. Behind them lie a capsized wooden boat and another weathered boat, with a tall sandstone embankment wall, buses and a faint distant temple spire.
