view of the Ganges River in Rishikesh, India, under an overcast sky

view of the Ganges River in Rishikesh, India, under an overcast sky. In the background are green, tree-covered mountains, and closer on the left, buildings are clustered near the riverbank. A bridge spans the river, connecting to a white domed temple-like structure. The river flows horizontally across the scene, with a greenish-grey hue. Along the paved riverbank, people are gathered in small groups; some appear to be bathing or wading in the water, while others are sitting or standing on the red stone embankment. A person wearing a green shirt and black pants walks up a series of red stone steps that lead up and away from the riverbank to the right. A partially visible black lamp hangs from a rough roof overhang in the upper right corner, and a small orange flag is visible near a tree. The overall setting is a mix of natural landscape and urban elements, common in Rishikesh along the Ganges River.
