This quality reprint of a vintage photo shows a view along the ghats of Benares (Varanasi), India, showing the Ganges River and the prominent Gyanvapi Mosque. People and boats are seen along the riverbank, capturing daily life. Varanasi is one of the oldest living cities in the world and is a sacred pilgrimage site for Hindus. The mosque was built in the 17th century by Mughal emperor Aurangzeb.
