A man sits by the Ganges River in Varanasi, India. He sits cross-legged at the end of what appears to be a concrete pier, which has a decorated edge and two beveled protrusions on its sides. He is wearing a long-sleeve orange shirt and lighter orange pants. In front of him, there is a silver bucket. His eyes are closed as if in prayer, and he is holding a strand of dark beads. There are a few large boats with huge rudder paddles in the background, and there are three smaller paddle boats filled with people.
