A hazy dawn or dusk view over the Ganges river at Varanasi, with stone steps of a ghat descending into the water on the left. A young man in a yellow t-shirt sits on the lower steps, and another figure stands higher up on the steps. Several small wooden boats with rowers drift on the calm river, and the city's buildings and street lights line the far bank under a pale grey sky.
