Photograph taken on a river at a Varanasi ghat in early morning light. A man in an orange-saffron robe and a red tilak on his forehead smiles broadly while holding a long white oar-like pole over the water. His long dark hair is swept back. Behind him, wide red-and-white striped stone steps lead up from the river to a multi-storied building with domed turrets and an ornate facade. Several small figures stand and bathe on the steps and at the water's edge, and a small boat rests at the right.
