Chaath Puja (6 days after Diwali) is India's prime festival honouring the sun god. Unlike the zestful Holi or the expensive Diwali) Chaath is a festival of prayer and propitiation observed with solemnity. It is an expression of thanks giving and seeking the blessings from the forces of nature, prominent among them being the Sun and river. The belief is that a devotees desire is always fulfilled during Chaath. Simultaneously an element of fear is alive among the devotees who dread the punishment for any misdeed during Chaath. The city remains safe during this time when criminals too prefer to be a part of the good.
I love the music that is playing in the background. It adds to the serenity of the scene.
