A wooden boat with a dark hull drifts on the Ganges river at Varanasi, with ghats and old multi-storey buildings rising behind a stone embankment. Seven people sit in the boat: a person in white at the bow, two women and a man in saffron-orange robes near the middle, a man in grey and a man in red at the rear. A metal container sits in the boat's centre. Steps and bathers are visible on the ghat, and a purple kite-like shape is in the upper left sky.
