Photograph of a riverside ghat in Varanasi with broad stone steps descending to the Ganga. Many people bathe and sit on the lower steps and in the shallow water, some wearing orange and white garments. Multi-storey buildings with pink, red and cream facades rise behind, with umbrellas shading the steps and a small boat docked at right. A signboard reads Alka and another shows a Ganpati image on a wall. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person; the scene shows bathers and onlookers only.
