A hazy dawn or dusk view of the Ganga river in Varanasi, with a riverside city of pale multi-storey buildings and ghats along the far bank. Two small wooden boats with rowers and passengers sit on the water; the nearer boat's passengers wear light clothing and the far boat holds several seated people. Small floating oil lamps glow on the water in the foreground, and a moored boat with a rope sits at left. Street lamps are lit along the embankment. No deity, a person or ritual figure is visible.
