A sunlit ghat scene in Varanasi under a clear blue sky. Pink and white temple spires and domed shrines rise above multi-storey stone buildings along the riverbank. Yellow pennant flags and tall poles with umbrella-like finials line the waterfront. Several people in light and orange clothing stand and sit on steps and rooftops near a stone platform, and a few figures move along the railed walkway in the distance.
