A riverside ghat scene at Varanasi on the Ganges, showing a stepped embankment with many people standing and moving about on the steps and bank. Smoke rises from the cremation area near a tall multi-storey stone building with a clock tower and open arched balconies. Stacked firewood logs fill the bank, and a wooden boat loaded with logs sits in the water in the foreground. No individual can be clearly identified as a person in this view.
