बीत गये दिन भजन बिना रे । भजन बिना रे, भजन बिना रे ॥
बाल अवस्था खेल गवांयो । जब यौवन तब मान घना रे ॥
लाहे कारण मूल गवाँयो । अजहुं न गयी मन की तृष्णा रे ॥
कहत कबीर सुनो भई साधो । पार उतर गये संत जना रे ॥

Hindoo Ghaut on the Ganges below Benares
This serene view captures a sacred bathing ghat along the holy river Ganges, situated just downstream from the ancient spiritual capital of Benares. Created during an era when European artists travelled extensively across the Indian subcontinent to document its breathtaking topography and rich cultural heritage, the work presents a harmonious coexistence of humanity, architecture, and untamed nature. Towering sacred trees with exposed roots anchor the riverbank next to stone steps leading down to the water, where devotees have gathered for centuries to seek ritual purification. In the background, modest shrines stand as quiet witnesses to the eternal flow of faith, while traditional wooden boats glide gently across the luminous water.
