Aerial photograph of a riverside ghat with fast, muddy brown water on the right. A large crowd of devotees sits and stands on wide stone steps, many in saffron and orange robes with white-clad figures among them. A small pink-and-white shrine with yellow and orange flags stands at the water's edge, and a reddish stone deity murti stands on a raised platform above the steps near a banana plant. Some people are gathered on a balcony at the top and a lone figure crouches at the bottom left by the water. A lit oil lamp is visible among the seated group at the centre. No individual candidate for a person can be confidently identified from appearance.

A large crowd gathers on the steps and at the lower landing, many in saffron-orange robes, others in white clothing and some in pink or mixed colours. Several figures are on the stairs near a small open-fronted shrine with an orange and white roof and a red and yellow flag. Multi-storey pale blue and cream buildings with balconies rise behind the ghat, with greenery on the right and a red and white pole nearby.
