Dozens of devotees sit in rows on the steps wearing orange, red and white clothing, many in red shawls. On the right, a standing figure in orange robes stands beneath a yellow-fringed umbrella, and a seated person in orange sits under another umbrella with a small wooden stool. On the left, a few people sit near brass and yellow ritual items and small colourful deity murti figures. A red rug lies on the steps and a small boat drifts on the river.
