Photograph of the Varanasi riverfront taken from the Ganges, with several small wooden boats on the water. Passengers sit in a blue-and-white boat in the foreground, with a few figures in light clothing. Behind them stone ghats climb toward multi-storey buildings, a red-domed temple shrine, and spired temple towers under a hazy sky. Smoke rises near the steps and a yellow cloth hangs from a balcony. A lamp post stands on the right. The scene shows the Varanasi ghat area on the Ganga.
