A photograph of a riverside ghat in Varanasi viewed from the water. Stone steps lead up from the Ganga past multi-storey buildings and a yellow temple with a red shikhara spire, next to a large leafy tree. Many people are scattered across the steps and waterfront, some bathing and walking, with coloured cloths drying and hanging. Several wooden boats are moored along the bank, including one painted with the name Amar Ujala and another with a red and yellow hull. The sky is pale blue. No identifiable a person is visible; the scene shows ordinary riverside activity.
