Outdoor photograph of many devotees seated in white clothing with red shawls on a long white-covered boat moored on the Ganges at Varanasi, with stone ghats, steps and temple spires along the riverbank behind them. Most participants wear white kurtas or saris and red scarves, sitting cross-legged or on white cushions while facing the shoreline during the gathering. A cameraman stands at the bank on the left, and several smaller boats and onlookers are visible. A scaffold frame of metal poles runs across the scene and red flags fly from the upper deck. No single person is clearly identifiable as a person in this crowd.
