Devotees sit on the upper deck of a white and red riverboat on the Ganges at Varanasi, seen from the side with a white railing and gold finials. In the foreground, a woman in a green sari with gold bangles, a man in a checked shirt, a woman in a blue and white striped top and a woman in a cap and sleeveless top gaze forward. Further right, a woman in a teal sari and a woman with red-brown hair sit along the rail. Behind them, wide stone ghat steps rise from the river, with a few people walking and a saffron-robed sadhu standing on the steps at right.

Many wear white clothing, and several white-clad figures in front are wearing white caps. Behind the boat, stone steps lead up the bank where other people walk and stand. Red-and-white painted poles with arched frames line the steps. Smaller red and white boats float in the foreground. No individual can be confidently identified as a person from appearance, so the identity is left uncertain.2014-04-30Photograph of devotees seated inside a covered wooden boat on a river, with a bamboo and reed canopy overhead and bright sunlight glowing through it. Several passengers sit on wooden benches: a woman in a white knit cap and glasses, a man in a white cap and white jacket with a hand to his face, a woman in a red-and-white shawl at right, and a man in a dark jacket beside a yellow box. Other passengers in white and dark clothing, some in headscarves and woollen caps, sit along the sides. A small wooden boat floats on the water beyond the canopy.2006-01-06April 30 20142014-04-30A crowd of devotees stands and sits on the open deck of a boat on a wide river, many waving raised hands toward the shore. Most wear everyday clothing: a woman in a green salwar kameez, a woman in a purple top, a man in a blue shirt and a striped shirt, and a man in a white kurta with a beaded mala necklace. Some wear white ritual-style clothing and lanyard name badges. Tall red-and-white poles rise above the railing, and a sandy bank lies across the water under a hazy sky. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible in this scene.2014-04-30April 30 20142014-04-30May 14 20142014-05-14
