From the Getty Museum record

View of Varanasi from across the Ganges River. The Great Mosque of Aurangzeb or the Gyanvapi Mosque, topped with three large domes and two towering minarets is visible on the right side, and several of ghats, riverbank steps usually used for religious purposes, can be seen along the river. Four figures gather in the foreground with a herd of oxen.
