Wide outdoor view of a riverside temple complex beside a grey-green river with stone steps descending to the water. On the left, a group of people stands on a red-carpeted platform beside a tall pole hung with marigold garlands and small flags, with silver foil-wrapped packets and brass pots arranged on the carpet. Several people in white and orange clothing gather near the platform. A stone footbridge crosses the river, and red-brick and tiered temple buildings line the far bank under an overcast sky. Small figures sit by the water's edge on the lower steps, and onlookers stand on the right near the stairs and a white stupa-like shrine.
