Wide daytime view of the Varanasi ghats on the Ganga river. In the foreground a wooden rowboat carries several women in green and pink saris, one man paddling with an oar. Behind, a blue boat bears a Union Bank sign, and a crowd of people walks down the stone steps of a large sandstone ghat building with a white upper facade. Colourful umbrellas shade a market area on the left, with pink-walled structures and a small temple spire nearby. Many other people stand and sit along the steps and rooftops. No identifiable a person figure is visible.
