Photograph of a muddy river ghat with stone steps descending into fast, murky brown water. Three young men in saffron-orange clothing stand and crouch on the steps near a chain railing, one holding a small white container and another with a backpack. A boy and a girl in colourful clothes stand higher on the steps among scattered litter, cloth and plastic debris. Vertical iron posts with chains line the steps, and festival decorations and a red structure are visible at the top edge.
