Evening photograph of Varanasi's Manikarnika Ghat on the Ganges at dusk, with many lit oil lamps and flickering reflections on the dark water. Rows of brick and stone steps are crowded with figures in the distance, and several wooden boats with orange hulls are moored in the foreground. Temple spires and multistorey buildings with colourful signboards line the riverfront. Several people are visible in the bottom corners, seated in a white boat or at its edge, partly cropped. No identifiable a person figure is clearly visible in this scene.

May 14 20142014-05-14Dusk view of a riverside ghat in Varanasi with the river in the foreground, reflecting warm golden lights. Rows of stone steps and multi-storey buildings line the bank, with lit street lamps, small flags and striped umbrellas along the waterfront. Many small figures gather on the steps and in boats at the water's edge, too small and distant to be individually described. A dark tree silhouette stands above the buildings at right under a dim evening sky.2014-04-30May 14 20142014-05-14April 30 20142014-04-30May 14 20142014-05-14April 30 20142014-04-30May 14 20142014-05-14May 14 20142014-05-14April 30 20142014-04-30May 14 20142014-05-14Night view across a river of a crowded riverside ghat in Varanasi, lit by many warm street lamps and reflected lights on the dark water. Small boats with a few seated figures drift near the bank in the foreground. Multi-storey stone buildings, a temple spire and a large dark tree rise against the night sky along the ghat. Crowds gather along the steps and landing, and string lights decorate a pavilion. No clear individual is identifiable as a person in this scene.2014-04-30May 14 20142014-05-14
