A photograph taken from the Ganges river looking toward the riverfront at Varanasi. In the foreground, several wooden boats are moored on the brown water. At left stands a tall stone shrine with a stepped, spired roof, partially submerged at the water's edge, beside a smaller stone structure. Behind them rise multi-storey buildings with balconies and shuttered windows, including a building with a blue sign reading Scindia Guest House. Stone ghat steps lead down to the river at right, where a few people are visible near the water and along the steps. Small figures can be seen sitting at the top of the steps at left.
