A riverside scene at a stone ghat on a river with murky, fast-moving water. In the foreground, several men in saffron-orange clothes crouch at the edge of the steps. One man in an orange garment and red shoulder cloth dips a white plastic jerrycan into the water, which hangs from a metal chain fixed to a black post. Another man in orange clothes kneels nearby, and a bare-armed person reaches in from the top left. Behind them, multistorey buildings line the far bank under an overcast sky. There is no visible a person candidate in this photograph.
