Photograph of a riverfront ghat in Varanasi viewed from the water. A white and pinkish-red wooden boat with a glass-windowed cabin and railings sits in the foreground on brown river water. Tiered stone steps lead up from the ghat past colourful multi-storey buildings in pink, blue, white and red, with balconies, arched windows and laundry hanging out. A few small figures stand and sit on the steps and sandy bank. A signboard on a pink building reads in Hindi, and a faded painted mural is visible on a wall. Clear blue sky above.
