Hindus bathing in the river at Ayodhya

A hand reaches out to help pull an old man from the sacred Sarayu River. A circle of flowers float on the surface of the water and his path back to the shore are can be seen. The woman on the right is just making her way out to do her morning ritual bathing. A yellow string (marking the safe limits of the river depth) makes a subtle diagonal into the upper third of the frame.
