Photograph taken from the river of a sandy riverbank with stone ghat steps leading up to a row of buildings along the Ganges in Varanasi. Several dark water buffalo rest on the sand near the steps, and a few small figures walk along the shore. Trees line the bank behind the pale and yellow buildings under a hazy blue sky, with dark river water in the foreground. No identifiable person is clearly visible.
