A photograph of the Ganga river at a ghat, its brown, fast-moving water in the foreground. On the right, several people crouch on the stone steps reaching out with white plastic jugs and containers to scoop or pour river water. Men in orange and saffron clothing and white dhotis stand near the edge, and a man wearing only dark shorts wades in the water. A pink arched bridge spans the river, with people standing on its railing and a banner with Hindi text hanging from it. Buildings and a crowd line the far bank under an overcast sky. No individual can be confidently identified as a person from appearance in this image.
