Night view of a riverside ghat along the Ganga at Varanasi, with many oil lamps and electric lights glowing on the stone steps and temple buildings. Dense crowds of devotees gather on the steps and in the water's edge, and several wooden boats with seated passengers float on the dark river, their reflections rippling on the surface. Tall temple spires and multistorey buildings line the bank under a night sky.

Night photograph taken from the river of a crowded riverside ghat during the Ganga Aarathi. Many people stand and sit along the stone steps and boats crowd the water in the foreground, while lamps and string lights glow on the buildings lining the bank. Golden reflections of the lights ripple across the dark water. Individual faces are too small to make out, so people are shown only as a dense crowd. No a person candidate is clearly visible.2014-04-02April 02 20142014-04-02April 30 20142014-04-30April 02 20142014-04-02April 30 20142014-04-30April 30 20142014-04-30Dusk view of a riverside ghat city at night, with warm lamplight reflecting in dark water across the foreground.
