A photograph of a riverside town in the hills with a fast-flowing, murky river in the foreground. A long suspension footbridge with dark metal railings spans the water, with pedestrians crossing it. Below the bridge on the left, a group of about twenty-five people in white and orange clothing sits on stone steps leading down to the river, beside a small shrine-like structure with a red-and-white roof and a stone deity murti. Multi-storey concrete buildings with balconies, laundry hanging to dry, and green plants line the hillside behind.
