Wide daytime photo of the Ganga river at Varanasi on a hazy morning. Along the crowded riverfront ghats, many people gather beneath colourful umbrellas beside historic stone temples, shrines and spires. Several small wooden rowing boats and a red-hulled boat float on the brown water, with birds in flight over the river. Small figures in two boats are seated, and the scene shows no clear closeup of any individual, so no identifiable a person appearance is visible.
