Wide outdoor photograph of a riverside ghat with stone steps leading down to a broad river. Dozens of devotees sit in rows on the steps, many in white clothing, others in orange, saffron and red garments. A central low table with a yellow-and-gold umbrella above it, brass lamps and flowers stands among them. A few people stand on the upper steps and at the edges, and a figure in an orange robe walks at the right. Trees and a retaining wall rise behind the ghat.

A large seated gathering of devotees on riverside steps beside a wide river, many dressed in white and some in saffron or orange. A central figure sits in front of a low draped table with a yellow parasol above, and tall ritual lamps stand on the steps around them.
