Wide view of a muddy, fast-flowing river bordered by a long stone ghat crowded with many people, many wearing saffron and orange clothing. Black tarpaulin tents and canopies stand at the left edge, with a tiled pink-and-cream building and tall green trees behind the riverbank under a hazy sky. Some figures are bathing or standing at the water's edge, and colourful cloths and bundles line the steps. No individual a person candidate is clearly identifiable at this distance.
