Beautiful!Tks!

Niice!

This is not at benares, as the title incorrectly says. Its 'Ramghat' in town of Ujjain near Indore.

but the umbrellas are so typical of Benaras

That is Scindia Ghat in Banaras.

Yeah, looks like Scindia Ghat to me. Though the temple in the foreground is more tilted today that in 1896.

Same exact viewpoint in the third photo down here: http://eagersnap.blogspot.com/2007/02/another-varanasi-morning.html

Sorry. Looking at the details it looks like a ghat from benares. :) .

But very similar to ghat in ujjain.

There is a Palace of Maharaja of Indore H.H. Yashwant Rao Holkar (your father) on the bank of a big pond in Indore

Looks like Atlantic City in the 50's

Is the house he had in Emerald Bay still standing?

Excellent collection
