Faith & Spirituality

"Faith & Spirituality" is a project that showcases the connection between people and religion. This portfolio explores the Varanasi Ganga Aarti which is a Hindu ritual performed every evening on the banks of the river Ganges (Ganga) in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India. It is a highly revered ceremony where priests offer prayers, light oil lamps, and chant hymns to honor the river Ganges, which is considered sacred in Hinduism.

The ceremony is conducted facing the river, with elaborate rituals accompanied by the rhythmic sounds of bells, drums, and conch shells. The atmosphere during the Ganga Aarti is charged with spirituality and devotion, attracting large crowds of pilgrims, tourists, and locals alike.
