Dusk view over the Ganges at a Varanasi ghat, with a row of moored wooden boats along the left riverbank and the still, hazy water beyond. Red metal railings and red poles with small yellow flags and red lamp holders line a raised walkway on the right. A tall red temple spire rises among older multi-storey buildings along the bank, a street lamp glows above, and small groups of people stand along the ghat in the fading light.

Several small wooden boats are moored along the muddy bank, and a larger covered boat with a latticed canopy sits at right. Old multi-storey buildings with weathered walls line the shore, a street lamp glows on the left, and a hazy pink sky sits over the Ganga. No people are visible.2006-01-09May 14 20142014-05-14January 06 20062006-01-06May 14 20142014-05-14Photograph taken from the Ganges river looking at the riverfront ghats of Varanasi at golden hour. Rows of multi-coloured boats, red and yellow hulls, are moored along the water. Crowds of people stand on the steps among many umbrellas in red, blue and yellow. Ornate temple spires, a white domed shrine and a pink-red temple tower rise above old stone buildings, with a pale sky above and rippling reflections of the warm light on the water.2015-10-02January 09 20062006-01-09April 30 20142014-04-30April 30 20142014-04-30May 14 20142014-05-14October 02 20152015-10-02May 14 20142014-05-14
