A river view of Varanasi's ghats from the Ganga, with calm brownish water in the foreground. Stone steps climb a riverbank lined with tall multi-storey buildings in white, pink, and red-brick, with a few domes and spires on the skyline under a pale hazy sky. Several wooden boats are moored along the sandy shore, and a few small figures stand near the water's edge. No identifiable a person figure is visible.
