A wide daytime view of the Ganga ghats in Varanasi under a hazy pale sky. Several weathered wooden boats with red and white hulls, one marked with the word HARI, are moored at the riverbank in the foreground on calm brownish water. Crowds of people gather on the stone steps and terraces of the ghat, with colourful umbrellas open along the shore. Old multi-storey buildings, a red-spired temple and a pink-washed riverside building with balconies line the bank. Several people stand on the pink building's upper terrace looking toward the river. No identifiable individual is shown in the foreground.
