A photograph taken at a riverside stone ghat in hazy early light. In the right foreground, a man in a bright orange turban and orange clothing, with long dark curly hair, looks out toward the water with a slight smile; he appears to be a person by his orange turban and long hair, though the image is partly cropped. Behind him on the reddish wet steps, several people stand or bathe in the river: some bare-chested men in white dhotis, women in colourful saris, and a man in a brown shawl at the water's edge. Scattered clothing bundles, small flowers and debris lie on the steps. A distant shoreline with buildings and a small boat fades into the fog over the river.
