A river view of the Varanasi ghats along the Ganges, with moored boats in the foreground. A red-hulled boat sits at the right edge beside a blue-and-white boat and several smaller wooden boats lined along the bank. Behind them stone steps and riverside buildings rise, including a red-and-white shrine spire and a tall pillar with a painted deity image at the right. Umbrellas and a few small figures are visible on the ghat. Hazy morning light and rippling green water fill the frame.
