A riverside view of ghats at Varanasi on the Ganges, with steps descending to the water under a clear blue sky. Many people in colourful clothes, including orange and yellow garments, stand and sit on the stone steps and along the bank, some with laundry hung out to dry. Weathered multistorey buildings and temple spires line the shore behind. Two boats sit at the water's edge: a white boat with red lettering reading Amar Ujala and an orange boat with the text Shri Satyma Ajra Ashram Paramahamsa Ashram, Varanasi. Small red-roofed pavilions stand on the ghat.
