"Benares On The River Ganges" is a notable watercolor painting by the British artist Hubert Cornish, created during the early 19th century. This artwork is a vivid representation of the city of Varanasi, also known as Benares, which is one of the oldest and most sacred cities in India, situated on the banks of the River Ganges. Cornish, who was an officer in the British East India Company, was also an accomplished artist and his works often depicted scenes from his travels in India.

The painting captures the bustling life along the ghats (steps leading down to the river) of Varanasi, showcasing the architectural splendor of the temples and buildings that line the riverbank. The use of watercolor allows for a delicate yet vibrant portrayal of the scene, with Cornish's attention to detail bringing to life the daily activities of the city's inhabitants, including pilgrims, merchants, and boatmen. The interplay of light and shadow in the painting highlights the serene yet dynamic atmosphere of the riverfront, a place of both spiritual significance and everyday commerce.

"Benares On The River Ganges" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value. It provides a glimpse into the cultural and social milieu of Varanasi during the British colonial period. Cornish's work is part of a broader tradition of British artists documenting their experiences in India, contributing to the visual record of the subcontinent during the 19th century. This painting is often appreciated for its aesthetic qualities as well as its role in the cross-cultural exchanges between Britain and India during the colonial era.
