Photograph of the Varanasi riverfront ghats on the Ganges under a clear blue sky. Tiered stone steps lead down to the water beside a red-pillared shrine pavilion with a domed roof, and multi-storey buildings with balconies line the bank. A small group of people stands on the lower steps near the water, and a few figures sit on the upper steps. Two white wooden boats with painted Hindi lettering and an orange motorboat are moored at the water's edge, and a domed pavilion marked Scindia Ghat stands at the right. No recognisable a person figure is visible.
