As the sails were of different colors, they presented a nice view. At regular intervals, there were bathing ghatswhere men, women and children were bathing. At some of them, women were cleaning utensils or washing clothes or drawing water with pitches in their arms. The cattle were grazing at large by river side. The cowboys were singing merry songs sitting in the shades of trees.
