This image depicts a famous festival of India, Chhath puja.
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Chhath Puja is one of the major festivals of India. The festival lasts for four days and during Chhath Puja prayers are dedicated to the solar deity, Surya, to express gratitude and thankfulness for the gift of life on earth and to request the granting of certain wishes be granted. This auspicious day is observed by praying to Lord Sun and his wife Usha by lighting clay lamps and taking a dip in the holy waters of Ganga.
On the auspicious day of Chhath Puja, devotees pray to Lord Sun and observe the festival by taking a dip in the holy waters of the Ganges. On the occasion of this Chhat Puja, two women were standing almost chest level in the water of the river and worshiping Lord Sun. Seeing that, I also got down in the water and went very close to the woman and took this picture. |
