A rainy riverside scene at a bathing ghat with stone steps leading into a fast-flowing river. Many people in orange and saffron clothing, plus women in purple, yellow and blue saris and men in shorts, bathe, wade and stand on the steps. Some hold black umbrellas against the rain. Behind them, stalls with colourful garlands, flower strings and cloth goods line the riverbank under dark tarpaulin roofs. A metal chain fence runs along the steps to guide bathers. Clothes are spread out to dry on the stone steps.
