Outdoor photo at a riverside ghat with crowds gathered on steps and the riverbank. In the foreground, a large ceremonial umbrella with a gold fringed canopy, red and green trim and a gold finial is held upright on a pole by a woman in an orange-red sari with a bindi. Beside her, a man in a red-orange turban and beaded necklaces smiles at the camera. Behind them, small white and red temple shrines with spires line the steps, and devotees sit and stand along the water's edge. A stone pavilion stands in the river, with a bridge and more crowds in the distance.
