A photograph of the Har ki Pauri ghat at Haridwar beside the Ganga, with a shallow flowing river at left where a bare-chested boy in pink shorts wades. At right, a seated man in white kurta and orange cloth sits under a black and blue tarpaulin canopy, with metal vessels and leaf plates of flower offerings in front of him. Along the upper bridge and steps, a line of people in mostly white and orange clothing stands watching. A man in a grey jacket holding a camera walks along the water. At the bottom left edge, a partially visible shaved-headed person wears an orange-beaded mala, which is the only visible cue for a possible a person candidate, but the frame is too cropped to confirm appearance.
