Hazy morning view of a riverside ghat on the Ganges at Varanasi. A woman in a maroon kurta with a white dupatta stands on a stone step at left beside a large pink-washed pillar, while a child in blue sits nearby. Several wooden boats are moored along the water, and a small rowboat drifts in the distance. Temple spires and multi-storey buildings line the bank, with a few people gathered on the steps and a red flag fluttering among the boats. A bridge spans the river on the far right under a pale sky.
