A photograph of the Varanasi ghat on the Ganga river. In the foreground several blue and red wooden boats are moored along the water's edge. Behind them, stone steps climb to a riverside promenade crowded with people, many in colourful saris and white clothing, with rows of umbrellas shading the steps. A pink circular tower stands at right with large painted images on its walls. Multi-storied old buildings and a red spired temple line the distant bank under a hazy sky.
