View of several sikharas, or bell-shaped domes typically found in Hindu temples, including the Vishnu Pud, on the Ganges River. The temples are located near the Manikarnika Ghat, a cremation ghat also known simply as the Burning Ghat. People can be seen scattered across the ghats, riverbank, and city, engaging in activities of daily life.
