The work is structured as a diorama presentation, intended to convey the picturesque beauty and cultural richness of the Indian landscape, alongside historical insights related to British colonial interactions in the region. The diorama displays various scenes including religious ceremonies, customs, and daily life of the inhabitants along these significant waterways. The opening of the diorama introduces readers to the curated visual journey along the Ganges from its source at Gangoutrī in the Himalayas to Fort William in Bengal. The text begins with rich descriptions of historical setups, including the establishment of English trade routes in India, leading into a vivid depiction of the river's course. As the narrative unfolds, it highlights cultural practices such as Hindu rituals and local livelihoods that revolve around the sacred Ganges, painting a comprehensive picture of the region's spiritual and daily existence. This blend of history, geography, and cultural nuances sets a captivating tone for the readers who are invited to explore both the beauty and complexity of Hindostan during this era.
