Photographer's Note
I shot it at the festival of CHHATH.
Chhath Puja is a very joyous and colorful festival. Chhath Puja is the holiest Hindu festival of people in northern India. Mostly the Chhath Puja is being observed in Bihar and Jharkhand(INDIA) and the festival comprises rituals for four days. The Chhath Puja begins a week after Diwali. The word Chat denotes the number six in Hindi. The Chhath Puja begins on the sixth day of the Kartik, a holy month as per Hindu calendar. Some people spell Chath Puja as Chat Puja, Chatt Puja, Chhath festival, etc
Chhath Puja is dedicated to worship the Sun God. The Chhath Puja is known as ‘SuryaShashti’. People observe Chhath Puja to thank the Sun for bestowing the bounties of life on earth, as also for fulfilling particular wishes. People believe that by observing the Chhath Puja they can fulfill their desires. The Chhath Puja has been observed since long time in India. On Chhath Puja day, all the people dress up in their best and new clothes are a must. Folk songs are sung both at home and on the riverbank. Millions of people take dip in the holy water of river Ganges, and other rivers.

hi Subir!
Your previous upload is a great shot,but the big watermark is very disturbing/distracting.
This one is great too,but with two signatures a nighmare.
What will we see next??????

Hi Subirda,
I don't know which to appreciate more, your eyes or hers? You have a great eye for excellent shots and her intensity is just fascinating. Did she see you take her picture?
Well done,
Shaeri
PS: Forgot to wish you a belated happy bijoya and diwali. Hope everything is fine with you. I have moved out of NY now, working at Yale. I will try to get some new shots during the weekends. Not any fascinating subjects around here as you have in India, but will try :)
