A photograph taken on a river boat on the Ganges at Varanasi, with a hazy sky and a distant shoreline. A man in a saffron-orange robe stands at the front of the boat holding a tall trident-topped staff and a small ritual object, beside a decorated seat. Around him, many seated devotees in white kurtas, saris, red and maroon shirts and a few in blue look toward him. The boat is crowded with people on benches and deck, and other small boats float on the water in the background. a person is probable: the standing figure wears saffron clothing and holds a trident staff, and the page says he is present, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
