Devotees in white kurta and dhoti-style clothing with red-orange shawls walk down sandy riverbank steps toward a ghat in Varanasi. A man in the foreground, wearing a rudraksha-style mala, holds a red shawl outstretched; a woman carries a brass plate of offerings, and a young girl in a light blue dress walks beside her. Behind them, many others in white and red shawls descend stone steps past a white temple-like structure with a tower and a bamboo-and-rope frame. Trees and street lamps line the background under a hazy sky.
