Misty morning view of the Ganga riverfront at Varanasi, with a row of wooden boats moored along the water's edge. Orange and red flags fly from some boats, and a boatman rows a small boat on the left. Crowds of people in mixed clothing gather on the stone ghat steps and along the bank, with white-walled buildings and trees rising behind them in the haze.

A hazy morning view of a riverside ghat in Varanasi, with many small wooden and painted boats moored along the water's edge. Several people bathe and wade in the shallows and on the stone steps, and others stand or sit on the upper stairs. White canopies and cloth-covered stalls line the steps, and an ornate temple with a tiered spire and carved stone balconies rises on the right beside a red flag. No identifiable ritual figure is visible.2006-01-06October 02 20152015-10-02October 02 20152015-10-02February 13 20132013-02-13Misty morning view of the Ganges riverbank at Varanasi with a small red rowing boat in the foreground, a boatman in dark clothing rowing with oars on calm grey water. Several moored wooden boats line the shore, and on the ghat steps and sandy bank a crowd of people gathers near the stone stairs with buildings and trees behind. A single street lamp stands on the right.2013-02-13October 02 20152015-10-02A wide hazy view of a crowded riverfront ghat on the Ganges in Varanasi. Dozens of people sit and stand on stone steps beneath many colourful striped and patterned umbrellas, some in white and pink, with a few in orange and green. Rows of wooden rowing boats crowd the water, and a tall orange flag on a pole stands near the edge. Pink and white temple-like towers and old buildings line the bank under a pale sky. The scene shows everyday ghat activity rather than a named ritual.2015-10-02February 13 20132013-02-13October 02 20152015-10-02October 02 20152015-10-02October 02 20152015-10-02May 14 20142014-05-14 +1 copies
