Photograph of devotees bathing at a stone ghat on the Ganga river in Varanasi, with weathered steps rising from the water. Several men stand, crouch and wade at the water's edge; one bare-chested man in white dhoti and a shirtless man in a brown loincloth bend over the river, and a seated man is being washed or sprinkled. Near the steps, an orange-painted niche bears a small deity image, and a shrine alcove with a small murti sits to the right. Onlookers gather on the upper steps in white and pastel shirts, with a bare-chested man and a boy in plaid shorts among them. A large straw umbrella stands at the top left. No figure is identifiable as a person.2015-10-02October 02 20152015-10-02Outdoor photograph of a riverside or tank ghat with worn stone steps.
