Photograph taken from a boat on a river, showing the riverfront of Varanasi along the Ganges. Weathered green and red painted boat rails with peeling paint fill the foreground. Across the water, a row of multi-storey buildings in pink, white and cream sits above stone ghats and steps, with a domed red sandstone mosque with slender minarets on the left and a small boat moored at the water's edge. A clear blue sky stretches above. No people are clearly visible on the scene.
