India is a Land of Faith. Why? On this big earth, there would be thousands of glaciers which melt and flows down as Rivers. But, it’s only in India that a river can be considered as Holy Mother and worshipped. What you see here is a glimpse of the evening prayer by hundreds of devotees at Haridwar, by way of ‘Aarti’ – Singing Praises of the Holy Mother by glorifying her with decorative fire lamps.

See the three high priest holding holy lamps.The colors of fire reflecting on the flowing river and the color of lights. (The blue colour is the one of the many flashes of numerous compact cameras that gave this interesting contrast).

This scene always captivates me. To add to this fascinating daily event is the background music played by little shops - “ Mano toh Main Ganga Maa Hoon, Na Mano toh Behta Pani” – (If you Believe, I am your Mother Ganga. If you Don’t, I am just a flowing river).

Folks, Faith Rules Every Land.
