=Incorrect file name and source description

[edit]

the file name and source description (English: Photograph of the Palace of Maharaja Chat Singh in Benares from the 'Earl of Jersey Collection' was taken by an unknown photographer in the 1880s. Ramnagar is situated on the right bank of the Ganges River and was made the capital of the former princely state of Benares (Varanasi) by Raja Balwant Singh in 1750. A series of courtyards lead to the white towers of the main palace within the fort, with the private appartments on one side of the tower and the Durbar Hall and reception rooms on the other. The palace is visible in the right background.) is incorrect. What is visible in the picture are ghats in Varanasi (from the right): Bhonsale Ghat, Ganga Mahal II Ghat and probably Manikarnika Ghat.

Ramnagar's view to compare:

and the pictures of the relevant ghats in categories: Ganga Mahal Ghat (II) and Bhonsale Ghat.
