Vertical portrait of an Indian woman praying, semi submerged in the river Ganges.
The river Ganges [Ganga] is the most sacred and spiritual place for the Hindu religion. Every morning at sunrise local Indians and pilgrims alike perform ritualistic prays "puja" to cleanse their souls, their bodies and their clothes as part of a daily routine on the many ghats surrounding the river bank.
