Evening crowd gathered on the steps of a riverside ghat at dusk, facing the water where lit oil lamps float and burn near the bank. Many devotees sit and stand in white, grey and orange clothing; a man in the right foreground wears a red turban and a plaid shirt, and another in white kurta leans forward on the steps. Temple spires with red and white towers, shops and hotel signs line the far bank against a hillside. Thousands of people fill the scene; no individual a person candidate is clearly identifiable from appearance.
