Photograph of the Dashashwamedh Ghat on the Ganges at Varanasi, with stone steps climbing from the water to temple spires and multi-storey sandstone buildings. A white passenger boat with a railed upper deck is moored at the front, its side reading VIP GROUP BOATING, YOGA, MUSIC and ATUL MAHARAJ. Two small boats sit near the steps, one blue with a red-clad rower. Yellow flags flutter from poles on the ghat, and a yellow sign reads Dashashwamedh Ghat. Scattered people are visible on the steps and the upper walkway, too small to clearly distinguish.
