Photograph of the Varanasi riverfront ghats taken from the river, with brown-tinted rippling water in the foreground. Tall pale ochre multi-storey building with a small clock tower stands on the left, beside a domed temple with pointed shikhara spires and a wooden-railed platform. Stone steps lead down to the water where stacked firewood piles lie, and small groups of people walk along the ghat. Several wooden boats are moored at the bank, and one boat on the right carries a group of people in colourful clothing. Clear pale blue sky overhead.
