A man in a saffron-orange robe and matching orange turban stands at the centre of an outdoor riverside ghat, with long dark hair falling onto his shoulders and a large gold ceremonial necklace with a pendant on his chest. Behind him, a large leafy tree stands beside a yellow and red building with a red-columned balcony, and a white signboard with Hindi text is mounted on a pole. To the right, several onlookers in ordinary clothes gather, including a man in a cream sweater, a boy in a blue jacket, and young girls in bright salwar kameez and dupatta scarves. Along the left edge, more people in saris and shawls walk along the misty waterfront. Appearance cues suggest a probable Swamiji (probable) in the saffron robe, turban and gold necklace.
