Night photograph of a riverfront ghat in Varanasi taken from a boat on the water. Illuminated colourful umbrella-shaped lamps line the steps, and warm street lights glow above crowded stone and brick buildings. Dark silhouetted trees rise on the left. Many people gather on the ghat steps, though individuals are too small and distant to distinguish. Reflections of lights shimmer on the river in the foreground.
