Photograph of the riverside ghats of Varanasi seen from the Ganga, with many people gathered on stone steps leading down to the water. Pilgrims in mixed clothing bathe and stand at the edge of the river, and a dark wooden boat is moored near the steps. Behind the ghat rise old stone buildings, a pink-spired temple tower on the left, and a tall carved temple shikhara on the right. A signboard reads Manikarnika Ghat and another sign reads Scindia Guest House. Clear blue sky above.
