In the foreground a smiling man with long dark hair wears a rust-red and saffron wrap over a bare upper body, a long rudraksha mala and a dark beaded necklace, and stands on a metal-railed platform, gripping the railing with one hand.

In the centre, a long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala and a white tilak on the forehead stands near a wooden boat, holding a small white cup. Nearby, a man in white kurta and white dhoti stands on the sand, and several men in white kurtas with orange shawls stand around. Marigold petals and orange flowers are scattered on the sand, and a steel vessel sits on the ground. Bare-chested men in white loincloths and devotees in colourful saris stand near the water, and a few onlookers are nearby. The scene suggests ritual activity by the river.May 13 20142014-05-13January 30 20142014-01-30June 04 20162016-06-04February 13 20132013-02-13A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes sits in a blue-rimmed wooden boat on the Ganges at Varanasi, raising his right hand in a wave and smiling.
