In Varanasi, India, a wooden boat carrying three people navigates a wide, murky river under an overcast sky. The boat is occupied by two women wearing headscarves and a young child. One woman in the rear is actively rowing with a wooden oar, while the other woman and child are seated. The boat itself appears weathered. In the foreground, a young boy stands on a railing at the riverbank, partially submerged in shadow. A red garment hangs on the railing to the right of the boy. The river surface is rippled, suggesting a gentle current. Scattered aquatic plants dot the water in the midground.
