Riverside view of the Varanasi ghats from the Ganges, with boats moored along the muddy brown water. Stone steps lead up to multi-storey buildings, domed and spired shrines, and a tall clock-tower-like structure. Stacks of firewood are piled along the bank. A few small boats carry people on the left, and a couple of figures walk on the steps. A blue-green tarp and a yellow canopy shade stalls by the water. The sky is hazy and pale.
