A riverside view of a carved sandstone shikhara-style temple rising from the Ganges ghats at Varanasi, with its tiered spire and rows of miniature turrets. Several wooden boats are moored along the water in the foreground. Behind the temple stand multi-storey buildings with balconies and a red flag on a pole, and stone steps lead down to the river beside carved panels on the wall. A signboard reads Scindia Rest House. No people are clearly visible in the scene apart from a few small figures on a balcony at left.
