A group of about thirty people in white dhotis and white saris with gold borders stands on a pale stone ghat beside the Ganges in Varanasi under a hazy sky. Many men wear red-orange shawls over their shoulders and multiple strands of beads around their necks, and several women wear red-orange shawls draped over white saris. Some raise their hands and wave. The central figure is a man in white dhoti with a red-orange shawl and beads, pointing forward, and the group is arranged in rows across the platform with the river visible behind.
