A large group of devotees in saffron and orange robes sits and stands on the steps and beneath the arcade, many wearing orange shawls. A man in a white kurta and orange shawl sits at the centre of the seated group, with a woman in white nearby. Around them, crowds of onlookers in ordinary clothes stand on the left and along the stairs, including men in shirts and trousers. A photographer with a camera stands on the steps at right. A carved stone figure sits on a pedestal in the upper right, and a sign with Devanagari text is on the wall. The scene suggests a gathering at a ghat.
