A hazy wide photograph of the Ganga river at a ghat in Varanasi, with a sandy bank and shallow water. Several wooden boats are moored along the bank, some carrying passengers, and small tents with colourful cloth canopies stand on the sand. Horses are tethered at the right edge. Many people bathe and wade in the shallows, and others stand on the sand and in the boats. A few distant figures are visible on the far sandbank. No identifiable a person figure appears; the people are bathers, boatmen and onlookers at the riverside.
