Wide view over the Ganga river at a Varanasi ghat in hazy morning light. Numerous wooden rowboats are moored along the left bank and near the stone steps, and birds fly across the pale sky. On the right, a weathered brown stone temple dome with a shikhara-style top stands beside the ghat, with a white-and-pink tower behind it. Strips of grey cloth hang from a structure at right, and a few small figures stand and move along the ghat steps far in the distance. No a person candidate is visible in the scene.
