A man crouches on a concrete ghat step at the water's edge, reaching his right hand into murky, churning river water. He wears an orange short-sleeved t-shirt and orange shorts with white tie-dye patterns, and is barefoot with wet dark hair. Behind him, two more people in orange clothing are visible at the water's edge, partially cut off by the frame. Scattered wet cloth and a plastic bag lie on the steps to the left.
