A tranquil morning scene capturing the timeless architecture of the Varanasi ghats. Soft warm light embraces the ancient palace walls while the blue boats rest peacefully over the shimmering water. Tiny figures add life and scale to the majestic steps and domes. Reference taken from Manali travel sketch, painted in 15x11 inch format using transparent watercolor. The contrast of warm architecture and cool reflections creates a serene rhythm of light, shadow and colour.
