Outdoor photograph of a riverside ghat ceremony with people gathered on steps beside water. In the foreground a woman in a red and gold sari sits on a leopard-print cushion wearing a gold necklace, gold armlets and a red head covering. Beside her a man in white with a purple shawl sits on a rug. A silver throne-like seat with a decorated canopy and marigold garlands stands at the left edge, with brass vessels, flower offerings and white flowers nearby. Behind them saffron-robed men and devotees in white stand near tall silver staffs topped with trishula tridents. A red-and-white temple with a dome rises in the background and the crowd fills the terraces.

Beside them, a bald monk in orange robes and sunglasses holds a silver trident-topped staff, and another orange-robed sadhu stands at right. Behind them, many people in white clothes stand and sit on steps by a river, with a white domed temple, red flags and a bridge in the background. Some people bathe in the water at left. The seated figure's appearance (long swept hair, saffron robes, ornate ritual garlands and mala cues) is consistent with a person in the central seated role, but identity is uncertain.2014-07-27March 20 20142014-03-20March 20 20142014-03-20Outdoor river ghat scene with a large crowd on the steps and a boat-like platform in the foreground.
