Photograph taken from a ghat on the Ganges at Varanasi, looking out over a wide, hazy river. In the foreground a person with long dark curly hair, seen from behind, wears an orange-saffron shawl and raises one hand toward the water. Moored wooden boats with white-painted gunwales line the left bank, a white houseboat with a red flag sits beside them, and a yellow flag stands on the right railing. Small boats carrying a few people drift on the river in the distance.
