A photograph of the Varanasi ghats on the Ganges river under a pale blue sky. Multi-storey sandstone buildings with balconies and a domed temple tower rise above stone steps where people gather. Stacked firewood lines the riverbank. In the foreground, a small wooden boat with a boatman in white holds passengers, and several other boats are moored along the shore. Pilgrims and bathers stand on the lower steps near the water. No identifiable person is in focus, and the scene shows the riverfront at Varanasi.
