Photograph of the Varanasi riverfront along the Ganga, showing ghats with stone steps and old multi-storey buildings with carved spires and red temple domes. Wooden logs are stacked on the ghat and on wooden boats moored at the water's edge. A few small figures stand on the steps and beside the boats, and a green cloth hangs on a ghat wall. No identifiable robed figure is visible in the scene, and the water reflects the warm morning light.
