A crowded narrow footbridge over a wide river, lined with red-and-white bollards and lamp posts. Many people walk in a long line toward the far bank, including women in flowing sarees and headscarves, one in a bright turquoise and pink patterned shawl in the foreground, and men in shirts and kurtas. A decorated rickshaw with ornate painted panels and a canopy moves along the bridge among pedestrians. Behind them, a riverside town with dense buildings, a tall spired temple tower, a white shrine dome and a telecom tower rises under hazy sky. Hazy overcast light, dusty atmosphere, sandy riverbanks with tents and boats in the distance.
