Outdoors on a stone ghat steps and marble-tiled riverside platform, a shaved-headed man in an orange-red dhoti and a leopard-print wrap walks forward with a long rudraksha-style mala hanging from his neck, a red sash across his chest, and a bindi on his forehead. Women and men line both sides in white kurtas, cream and blue saris, yellow salwar kameez and red shawls, many with palms pressed together in namaskar. Purple and dark yoga mats lie on the ground, and a few robed monks in saffron stand on the steps behind. A small child in pink sits in the foreground. Trees and a pale evening sky frame the riverbank.
