A photograph of Manikarnika Ghat in Varanasi viewed from the river. Wide stone steps descend to the water beside a long pink colonnaded building with many shuttered windows and a tall curved facade. Stray dogs and a white cow stand on the sandy bank, and a few small figures are scattered on the steps and a balcony at right. A river flows in the foreground under a pale sky. No identifiable ritual activity is visible in this frame.
