A photograph of the Manikarnika Ghat riverfront in Varanasi on the Ganges. Several wooden boats with red and blue trim are moored at the water's edge, with a stone staircase rising beside them. Terracotta-coloured temple spires and shrines stand on the ghat, flanked by weathered multi-storey buildings with balconies and arched windows. A few small figures sit or move near the boats and steps, with a red-and-white canopy and cloth hangings visible on the upper terrace. Hazy morning sky above the old city.
