A large sandstone palace with multi-tiered arched balconies and jharokha-style windows rises above a steep flight of stone steps descending into still water. Stone pillars with ornamental caps flank the steps, and their reflections shimmer on the water surface. A small blue-and-white sign is fixed to the central wall near the steps. The sky is pale and hazy. No people are visible.

Behind him across the calm water stands a row of sandstone palace-like buildings with arched windows and a tall spired temple tower, under a hazy pale sky. Red script is painted on the green railing. The scene suggests a sacred riverbank setting.2004-10-18Photograph of the Varanasi riverfront on the Ganges, seen from the water. A wide stone ghat climbs from the river past an ornate sandstone palace with towers and arched balconies on the left. Many small figures sit and stand on the steps; a boat with several passengers in the foreground drifts on the rippling golden water. Colourful multi-storey buildings, a temple spire and red shrines line the bank under a pale evening sky. Signage reads Mushi Ghat. No identifiable person is clearly shown; a person is not visibly present.2015-10-02January 06 20062006-01-06October 02 20152015-10-02
