Night photograph of a stone riverside staircase lined with orange-painted railings, with a crowd and distant lights along the river behind. Several men in saffron-orange robes walk up the steps barefoot, the leading man in a flowing orange cloth, with others in white dhotis and striped shirts and trousers. Seated people and metal pots sit at the left edge near the railing. Lamps and lights glow across the dark water in the background. No individual's identity is established by appearance, so these are described by role and dress only.
