Photograph of a group of men and boys bathing in the river at Gaga Ghat, Varanasi, with many partly submerged in shallow brown water. Most are shirtless, some in dark swim trunks or briefs; one young boy in a green t-shirt and dark shorts sits in the water at right, and a boy at left smiles while wading. Behind them a long red steel bridge spans the river above a line of large black pontoon floats and a moored barge. No a person appearance is visible and no one can be identified in the scene.
