A busy riverside scene at a stone ghat on the Ganges in Varanasi, with crowds of people climbing and descending the wide steps beside the water. A man in a red shirt and jeans stands at left on a wooden boat. Many people in white, orange and saffron clothing mill about under colourful umbrellas and tarpaulins. Pink ghat towers with painted deity murals stand at right, and several wooden boats with passengers float near the steps. Shops with signs advertising Lux Cozi line the buildings behind.

Several wooden boats are moored along the water's edge, some painted red and white, with passengers seated in them. Behind the steps stand old multi-storey buildings, a small red-pink temple spire on the left, and two cylindrical pink-and-white towers on the right.
