Evening scene at a multi-storey building with red scalloped parapets and red-arched fencing in front. Along the balconies and rooftop, many onlookers stand and watch, some holding cameras. On the lower ground, seated monks and sadhus wear saffron and orange robes, one in a white dhoti. Devotees in white and red shirts sit nearby, and a small bald figure in orange sits near the centre. Blue illuminated signage and string lights glow above, and a green sign reads Shahi Snan Marg. A tall floodlight and wires line the top edge.
