A bald man in a white shawl with orange cloth stands near an offering of orange flowers on a ledge. A man in a grey knit cap and dark vest gestures, and a man in a dark green sweater holds a camera. Orange flowers and offering items sit on the stone ledge. The people are standing in a puja or ritual setting by the river.
