Photograph of a riverside ghat with stone steps descending to a fast-flowing, muddy river. Many devotees in orange and saffron clothing, some in white, sit and stand on the steps and gather beneath a red-pillared pavilion, with a wooden railing and blue-and-white bollards along the water's edge. A figure in a long orange robe stands prominently near the middle steps, and a man in an orange shawl holds a camera at right. Others stand in western clothes and saris. A colourful stone sculpture of a deity sits on a rock outcrop at upper right beside a banana tree.
