Wide photograph of the Varanasi riverfront ghats on the Ganges at a hazy morning or afternoon. Dozens of wooden and painted rowboats are moored along the water, and a red-and-white boat sits near the middle. On the stone steps, many people sit and stand under colourful open umbrellas in yellow, pink, green and orange, some seated near the water with bundles and cloth. A few saffron flags fly on tall poles, and a worn pink building and tall lamp post stand at left. A tall, thin figure in a green vest walks along the railing in the foreground. No identifiable a person appearance is visible.
