Interesting to see these kinds of boats. They impart a very rural feel to the image.

I have very slightly boosted the image- no other changes to the original picture. The pollution of Ganga begins at Kanpur- but that is further down stream. Here too Ganga is polluted, though not as bad as it gets further down. The color of water looks this way coz I took the pic as fog was lifting and sun starting to shine down.. if you notice- the horizon is hazy
