Photograph of a riverside ghat in Varanasi on the Ganga with tall weathered sandstone and brick buildings, a long flight of stone steps descending toward the water, and white cloth laid out to dry along the lower platform. A few people are scattered on the steps and ground: a boy in a striped shirt on the left, another boy in a brown top beside him, a figure in a maroon robe with a white cloth on the steps, and a small child further back. On the right, an older man in white kurta and white dhoti stands on the upper step looking toward the water. A red-washed shrine structure sits to the left. Hazy morning sky above.

A painted mural of boats and figures is set into the wall at the steps, and a faded sign above the doorway reads Mahavidya.
