A photograph of a sacred bathing ghat at the sea edge, with a white railed stone pier and pink-topped pillars. Many people stand on the pier looking down, while others wade in the shallow water among metal railings and wooden posts. Several bathers wear red, orange and green cloths, and one woman in the water has long dark hair. A man in a saffron-orange cloth stands near the steps on the pier, and a bald elderly man in a green cloth stands at the edge. The scene is a ritual dip at a coastal temple ghat under a pale sky.
