Photograph at a riverside ghat with stone steps and a chained railing running into fast-moving water. In the foreground a man in orange clothing with an orange shawl stands beside a red shrine-like kiosk decorated with pink, yellow and red tassels and a framed religious print showing deity murti figures. Behind him a second person in orange clothing bends toward the water near the chain, and several people stand in the river and along the steps in the background. Discarded plastic litter lies on the wet steps.
