It was Nov 2015 and I was in Ranchi in Jharkhand state of India 🇮🇳.Occasion was “CHATT PUJA” the most famous puja and performed with utmost austerity among people of Bihar & Jharkhand but now it is a common Puja in Northern and even in Eastern India 🇮🇳.
This picture ….where a devotee was worshipping “SUN GOD” the”Chatti Mai” after taking the holy deep really made so emotional about….“People and their strong commitment to religion”.
The Jeet, considered as the god of energy and of the life-force, is worshiped during the Chhath festival to promote well-being, prosperity and progress. In Hinduism, Sun worship is believed to help cure a variety of diseases, including leprosy, and helps ensure the longevity and prosperity of family members, friends, and elders.
The rituals of the festival are rigorous and are observed over a period of four days.They include holy bathing, fasting and abstaining from drinking water (Barta), standing in water for long periods of time, and offering prashad (prayer offerings) and arghya to the setting and rising sun. Some devotees also perform a prostration march as they head for the river banks.
It's a Signature of My Creativity.....
Emotions embedded with words and soaked with my Photography hope will definitely create an Life long Impression on You.
