A red and white ceremonial umbrella and long silver staffs topped with trident-like finials rise above them. Several men in orange shave-headed and some with rudraksha malas, and women in orange saris with ornate necklaces, smile and cheer. Behind them, spectators in white and colourful clothes sit on tiered ghat steps. A black portable speaker sits on the lower right. The scene suggests a sacred riverside gathering in a ghat setting.
