Photograph of Manikarnika Ghat on the Ganges in Varanasi, shown from the river. Several wooden boats, some with red pennant flags, are moored at the water's edge below a long set of pale stone steps leading up to terracotta-coloured shrine structures and a small red-roofed shrine. Old multi-storey buildings with flat roofs and balconies rise behind, with a large leafy tree at the centre. A few small figures are scattered on the steps and landing at the right, and a signboard in Hindi is visible on the steps. No identifiable a person appearance is shown.
