A photograph of a stone bridge over a shallow, murky canal at sunset. On the left, a group of about a dozen people in white clothes walk along the bridge's parapet, with a few saffron and orange flags and a man in a dark shirt standing among them. On the bridge, a small shrine with a deity murti dressed in red and green cloth sits under a canopy with a decorative top, and a tall ornate ratha-like structure with a wheel stands beside it. Sunlight flares across the scene from the right, and a person stands near the far end of the bridge.
