22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
By the Steps

This photo captures a quiet moment on the ghats of Banaras, where three individuals sit together, each lost in their own thoughts. The man, dressed in traditional attire, seems contemplative, while the other two women beside him watch the surroundings with a mix of curiosity and calm. The steps of the ghats serve as a gathering place, reflecting the everyday lives and untold stories of the people.
