A large outdoor crowd gathers on a wet concrete riverbank beside a fast-flowing river, many people bathing in the shallows and sitting on the steps. Men are mostly bare-chested in shorts and briefs, while women wear salwar kameez and saris in red, green and blue. A few figures wear saffron clothing. A stone tower with a golden deity figure and a fish-shaped sculpture rises from the water, and a roadside billboard with Hindi text stands at right. A cow is visible in the crowd.
