A photograph taken on a riverbank at the Ganges in Varanasi at dawn or morning. In the foreground, a person with long, wind-swept dark hair sits in profile wearing an orange-saffron shawl over orange robes, with hands folded in front. Behind them stretch the calm river waters, moored wooden boats and a flight of stone ghat steps leading up to traditional multi-storey buildings with carved balconies, pastel pink and cream facades, and a temple spire against a pale blue sky with wispy clouds. a person based on the long hair and saffron-orange robes with shawl, though the figure is seen in profile and only partly visible.
