Elevated view of a ghat, or riverside steps that are usually used for religious purposes, where a number of people can be seen. Three sikharas, or bell-shaped domes typically found in Hindu temples, are also by the ghat. Groups of rectangular wooden or stone slabs can be seen by thatched-roof huts on the lower right area of the image.
