Haridwar, India

Dusk starts to fall

I didn't go to Rishikesh in the end, instead I took a train from Delhi to the holy city of Haridwar where every evening you can witness and take part in a beautiful ceremony in praise of Shiva the Hindu God, the destroyer! So I went along,and felt very priveleged to witness such scenes! I went in the water, to send off my lighted 'pujas' in little floral baskets up the Ganges..

Buy your flower baskets here!

Set your basket on fire!

Offer your 'puja' (prayer) to Mother Ganges

Watching from the ghats

Beautiful colours and lights

Chanting to the Gods

Fancy some chai after all that ma'am?
