Long dark hair falls down the bare back. Another person's legs in dark swim clothing stand in the water at the upper left, and a small white stick lies on the steps. The figure's appearance shows long hair and saffron clothing, which is a person candidate, though the face is hidden and the figure is seen from behind.January 08 20062006-01-08January 08 20062006-01-08A photograph at a riverbank on the Triveni Sangam at Allahabad. A person in an orange-saffron top and matching orange-saffron lower garment, with long dark hair swept back, bends at the water's edge and pours water or ash from a small vessel into the river. Scattered orange marigold petals lie on the sandy bank. Several wooden boats with canopies are moored along the shore, and hazy winter light reflects off the water. Two standing men in jackets watch from the left edge, and a few more people sit further back, partly visible. The orange clothing and the offering into the river suggest a riverside ritual.2006-01-08
