Exterior of a sandstone riverfront building at Shivala Ghat in Varanasi, with a yellow sign reading Suryauday Havel above a stone-stepped ghat. In the foreground a small white and light-blue conical shrine with orange trim has a red flag on top and a red cloth hung over its front, with an orange-painted deity murti visible inside its barred doorway. A woman with reddish hair stands at the right edge, partly cropped, and a dog lies at the lower left on the steps. Pigeons perch on the upper balconies, which have potted plants.
