A photograph of a group of devotees on a sandy riverbank at dawn, with a hazy sky and moored wooden boats with bamboo poles along the water. Many people wear white kurtas and saris with orange shawls or orange cloth bags slung over their shoulders; one older woman with white hair wears white with an orange shawl, and a man in an orange-trimmed white outfit stands nearby. Some carry black backpacks and white plastic bags, and a young child in white stands near the water's edge. Several people look toward the river as they gather to board boats, and a small group in the foreground wears white with orange stoles. Faint copyright and source text is visible on the right side.
