Photograph of the Varanasi ghats along the Ganga river at a hazy morning or evening light, showing ancient stone steps, temple spires and sandstone buildings lining the riverbank. Several red wooden boats with rowers float on the calm brown water, one with an airtel 3G advertisement painted on its side. Small groups of people stand on the steps and ghats, and colourful cloth canopies and flags are visible near the water's edge. No identifiable a person figure is visible in the scene.
