At sunset on a riverbank, several men in saffron and maroon robes with rudraksha malas kneel and bend at the water's edge, dipping their hands into the river. Behind them a man in a white dhoti and a cameraman with a video camera stand on the sand, and a boat marked with white POLICE lettering sits near bamboo poles and moored wooden boats. The sun glows low over the water, reflecting on the surface.

Several men in ritual dress stand at the water's edge: a man in orange robes with long dark hair kneels and reaches toward the river, while men in maroon and brown dhotis with gold-trimmed cloth and beaded necklaces bend or stand nearby. A devotee in red bends into the water filling a container. Bamboo poles and moored wooden boats line the shore, and a boat marked UP Police is visible behind them. Apart from the orange-robed figure, the others appear to be devotees or attendants rather than clearly identifiable individuals.2015-10-27Early-morning photograph at a river ghat with moored wooden boats and tall bamboo poles, sunlight glowing on the water.

A man in an orange-saffron shawl stands at centre, with long dark hair tied back and a light-coloured garment, facing the water. Rudraksha malas are visible on some men's necks.
