The river side

The river side presented a very lovely scene. There were men, women and children. They were in large number. All were swimming. Those who could not swim were bathing in shallow water. Some people were washing their clothes. Some were playing in the cold water of the river. Little boys and girls were playing on the sand. Some boys were playing kabaddi on the sand of the river.

Boating by students and washing clothes by washermen

A number of college students were enjoying boating. The little boats were running up the river. They were having lines of foam on their both sides. A little up the river some washermen was washing the clothes. They were beating clothes against stone-slabs. Their wives and children were spreading the clothes for drying upon the bank.

Fishermen at work

At a little distance from the bathing ghat, a few fishermen were busy in catching fish. They had thrown nets in the river and were waiting for their catch.

A Temple of Shiva near the bank

Close to the river bank was a small temple of Shiva under a peepal tree. Some holy Sadhus were staying there. After taking bath some men were going to the temple to say their prayers. An old beggar was sitting outside the temple. He was begging alms from everyman going to the temple. There were some fruit-sellers with big baskets of melon and mangoes.
