Evening photograph of the Hari Ki Pauri ghat on the Ganga at Haridwar, with a large dense crowd gathered along the riverbank steps under warm lamp light. In the foreground, a figure seen from behind wears a bright saffron-orange turban and orange shawl over dark hair, looking toward the water; a white cloth edged with rope hangs at the left edge. Along the ghat, oil lamps and flames glow near a decorated ceremonial platform, and temple spires and shops with lit signs line the hillside above. Reflections of the lamps shimmer on the dark river, with many devotees in white and colourful clothing filling the lower frame.
