Night photograph of a crowded wooden boat on the Ganges at a ghat during Ganga Aarti in Varanasi. Warm lights line the riverside steps and buildings, and a dense crowd fills the banks. In the foreground boat, a man in a white kurta stands at the bow, another man in a red-brown garment stands nearby, and a man in a blue shirt and dark trousers steadies the boat at its edge. Several other seated figures in dark and light clothing ride the nearby boats. No identifiable a person figure is clearly visible, and the scene shows devotees on boats and the ghat.
