Photographer’s Note
Another of my Ganga Arti photos which takes place everyday evening at Dasaswamedh Ghat at Varanasi. Prayers are offered to Ganges, the holiest river in the world. The priests perform this arti with lamps, blowing of conch shells and scented smoke as seen in the picture.
I have used the available light mode in my camera to capture this.

Hello Ujjal. A large religious celebration. It affects like a dramatic piece the stage of a theatre. The representation and tendency are outstanding photographed. An impressing picture, developed under natural lighting conditions. Exemplary. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Nice capture, Like the symmetry. I tried to do a WS but since it is a compressed file there is not much shadow details I could extract. I am sure you can extract a lot of details with the original photograph.
