A photograph of a red-brick stepped ghat with rows of black stone shivalingam-style pillars. Several men in white dhotis sit cross-legged in meditation or prayer with palms pressed together, some bare-chested with rudraksha malas. In the foreground a long-haired man in an orange dhoti stands at a railing near red flags, also with hands folded. A bald man in an orange cloth sits at left. No one in the scene is identifiable as a person by appearance, so the candidate check is negative and only roles are given.
