A night-time photo on a riverside at a crowded ghat, lit by warm street lamps and glowing shrine lights along the water. In the foreground, a woman in a long orange-red and gold-patterned garment with gold necklaces and bangles sits on a silver-framed seat draped with a leopard-print cloth, smiling, her forehead marked with a tilak. Beside her, a man in white clothes and a beaded necklace sits on the boat deck, and another man in dark robes stands behind a railing. Behind them a dense crowd gathers on the steps and temple buildings along the river.

In the foreground a bare-chested man with a white forehead mark, ornate gold necklace and bead garlands, orange and red cloth draped over him, and gold armbands sits on a raised seat with a decorated cushion and watches the scene.
