A young Indian man is sitting cross-legged on a wooden boat floating on the Ganges River during the evening Ganga Aarti in Varanasi. He has short styled hair, a light beard, and a calm, reflective expression, gently looking toward the distance. He is wearing a deep maroon kurta with a shawl draped over one shoulder, paired with loose white traditional pyjama pants. His bare feet rest naturally on the wooden planks of the boat.
Warm golden light from ghee lamps and fire rituals softly illuminates his face and clothing, creating a spiritual and cinematic glow. Behind him, a vibrant and crowded ghat is visible, filled with priests performing Ganga Aarti while holding large flaming aarti lamps. Fire sparks and glowing trails rise into the air, forming soft bokeh light effects.
The background shows ancient Varanasi ghat steps, traditional architecture, and people dressed in traditional attire. Light smoke fills the scene, reflections of lamps shimmer on the river, and the overall atmosphere feels festive, sacred, and emotional.
