CHARAK: final puja Photo

Photographer’s Note

Back to the CHARAK series.

The priests perform a final puja, and put garlands of Jaba (Hibiscus) on the sacred pole (Charak gaach). After this, the "sanyasi" will be ready to perform.

nice image Arnab, you have managed to capture taht crowd very well, there is no mess - everything is well positioned, nice composition, good quality. only whites are a bit blown out, but it is only because of a small sensor of your camera. good stuff
