A photograph of a river scene with a flock of white seagulls, many with grey-tipped wings, flapping and landing on choppy grey water in the foreground. Behind them, wooden boats and a few red-hulled boats sit near a crowded stone ghat with steps climbing toward buildings in hazy winter light. Several people stand and move along the steps and bank in the distance, too small to make out in detail. A yellow boat edges the lower left corner.
