Dusk view of a riverside ghat in Varanasi with the Ganges in the foreground, its surface reflecting golden lamplight. Multi-storey stone buildings line the bank, with saffron and red flags and temple spires visible. Rows of lit umbrella-like canopies and oil lamps stand along the steps, with a crowd gathered near the water and small boats drifting on the river. The sky is dark blue-grey.
