Hazy dawn or dusk view over a broad river with a long row of wooden boats, many with white or pale hulls and some painted green and orange, moored in a line at a stone ghat. A single bright street lamp stands on a tall pole at the edge of the steps, and a few small figures are visible on the ghat and on the riverbank to the left. A small red flag flutters on a pole at the right edge. The sky and water are soft grey-lilac under fog.

Dark water extends behind them, and a single small boat with a figure sitting in it floats in the middle distance. A thin pole rises at the right edge beside a boat with a yellow-trimmed deck and a blue box. The scene is dark and quiet, with no ritual activity, deities or a person visible.
