A shaved-headed man in an orange-brown sleeveless wrap and rudraksha beads stands on a pebbled riverbank at dusk, holding a small lit flame in his cupped right hand over the grey river water. Pale ash or markings streak his bare shoulder and chest, and a wrist mala is visible. Behind him are a hillside with trees and distant buildings, and a faint figure sits near the water. The flame suggests an aarti or fire offering at the Ganga ghat; the visible person is shaved-headed in a plain saffron-toned wrap, without clear cues to a person, so identity is uncertain.

Two small figures in white are seated or standing far off along the shore.2014-03-10March 10 20142014-03-10Dusk on a rocky riverbank, with a wide river and low hills behind. A single figure stands at the water's edge in a long red-maroon garment, one arm raised high holding a lit flame or torch. Pebbles and stones cover the foreground, and dark tree line lies across the far bank. The figure is distant and not clearly identifiable, so no a person candidate is confirmed from appearance.2014-03-10Dusk on a pebbled riverbank beside a wide, calm river with forested hills behind.
