A man in an orange saffron top stands waist-deep in murky brown river water, gripping a black iron chain strung between metal posts beneath a pink concrete bridge. Another bare-chested man stands further right, also holding the chain. Crowds line the far riverbank under hazy skies, with multistorey buildings behind. No identifiable a person candidate is visible; the people are devotees bathing in the river.
