Night photograph of a river bank at a large riverside gathering, with a long elevated concrete bridge spanning the water on tall pillars. Warm orange sodium lights line the bridge and reflect in dark rippling water in the foreground. Rows of small tents and makeshift shelters with cloth awnings line the distant shore under a hazy orange sky. A single small figure stands partly submerged in the river near the left bank, but no clear ritual activity is visible. No identifiable person is shown in a clearly visible form.
