Photograph taken from the Ganges river looking at the riverfront ghats of Varanasi at golden hour. Rows of multi-coloured boats, red and yellow hulls, are moored along the water. Crowds of people stand on the steps among many umbrellas in red, blue and yellow. Ornate temple spires, a white domed shrine and a pink-red temple tower rise above old stone buildings, with a pale sky above and rippling reflections of the warm light on the water.
