Photograph of the Varanasi riverfront taken from the Ganges under a pale blue sky with thin wispy clouds. Stone ghats step down to the water, lined with pale multi-storey buildings, a red-topped shrine at the right edge, and a few tree canopies. Small wooden boats are moored along the bank, and scattered figures are visible on the steps and promenade. Dark rippling river water fills the foreground. A blue bird logo sits in the upper left corner and a copyright line is printed in the lower right.
