Hazy view of the Manikarnika Ghat riverfront in Varanasi along the Ganga. Several white birds. Behind them stand weathered multi-storey stone buildings with domed and spired temple shrines, including a tall clock-tower structure on the left. Stacks of firewood are piled along the steps and lower ghat, and small groups of people are scattered on the stairs and walkways near the water. Parts of a yellow-and-white awning and some marigold-coloured flowers appear at the lower left. No individual person is clearly identifiable as a person in this scene.
