A hazy morning view of a riverside ghat in Varanasi, with many small wooden and painted boats moored along the water's edge. Several people bathe and wade in the shallows and on the stone steps, and others stand or sit on the upper stairs. White canopies and cloth-covered stalls line the steps, and an ornate temple with a tiered spire and carved stone balconies rises on the right beside a red flag. No identifiable ritual figure is visible.
