A photograph of devotees riding in a weathered blue wooden boat on a river. A woman in a beige jacket and white head covering wears blue gloves and sits at the front, next to a woman draped in a green patterned shawl. A man in dark-rimmed glasses, a dark jacket and an orange-red sweater with a red mala-style necklace smiles beside them. A person in a red knit cap sits behind them. Other boats with bamboo canopies and passengers in shawls and woolens crowd the water behind, with a sandy bank and hillside in the background. Orange paint marks the side of the boat.
