View of the Gyanvapi Well inside the mosque of the same name in Varanasi. Three ornately carved pillars stand in the foreground, in front of a carved statue beneath a recessed arch. A second, ornately decorated statue sits between two of the pillars, and a bell hangs from one of the pillars' capitals above it.
