This evocative watercolor painting captures the essence of Varanasi, with its ancient ghats leading down to the holy Ganges River. The artist uses a warm palette of yellows and browns to depict the weathered stone steps and buildings, while touches of blue hint at the river's presence. The scene is alive with activity, as figures descend the steps towards the water, perhaps for ritual bathing or prayer. This artwork beautifully blends architectural elements with a sense of human presence and spiritual devotion.
