Night-time photo of a riverside ghat with stone steps lit by warm oil lamps. A group of about a dozen people in white and cream dhotis and saris sit on the steps around a cluster of brass oil lamps set on a red cloth, apparently performing a lamp ritual. A bare-chested man in a white dhoti stands in the foreground with his back partly turned. Some devotees wear orange or red garments. Metal railings, red flags and a crowd of onlookers fill the background on the left.
