A photograph at a riverbank at sunrise or dusk, with a hazy golden sky. Several men in matching maroon-red and saffron-gold dhoti-style garments stand at the water's edge, some with bare shoulders, one raising a fist and others with shaved heads. Wooden poles and moored wooden boats with bamboo canopies line the water. Other people in white shirts and a man in a red garment kneel at the water, bending to fill or wash in the river. The scene suggests a sacred bathing or ritual ghat on a river.
