Aarti Lamps Reflected in Ganges at Varanasi Ghats

by Beau Pate

Golden flames from oil lamps flicker against the dark underside of a pagoda-style roof, casting sharp rim light along the eaves. The Ganges flows silently below, mirroring the warm orange glow in distorted ripples. Dry leaves skitter across the stone ghats in the deep shadow, caught by a sudden gust. The water's surface breaks the reflection into jagged shards of light that dance against the black river. Wooden beams frame the view, creating a natural window into the ceremony. The scene rests on the contrast between the burning oil and the cool, dark stone of the ancient steps.
