Photograph taken from a boat on the Ganges river at a Varanasi ghat in hazy morning light. Several wooden boats are moored on the green-brown water, and a group of people stands and sits in the foreground boat, including a man in a white shirt and dark trousers standing at the bow and a man in a dark vest beside him. Behind them, stepped stone ghats rise toward old multi-storey buildings, a red domed temple shrine and a tall spired temple, with firewood stacked on the steps. Some passengers wear caps and bright blue or white tops.
