In this print by Philippe Lissac from Universal Images Group, we are transported to the sacred waters of the Ganges in India. The image showcases a mesmerizing sight - Diyas, or floral floats adorned with incense, gently floating on the tranquil surface of the river. This ethereal scene is steeped in spirituality and faith, as it captures an integral aspect of Hinduism. The significance of these Diyas lies in their role as offerings to deities and ancestors. As they gracefully drift along the currents of the Ganges, they symbolize devotion and reverence towards higher powers. The soft glow emitted by each Diya creates a mystical ambiance that resonates with believers and observers alike. This photograph not only highlights religious rituals but also serves as a reminder of India's rich cultural heritage. It encapsulates the deep-rooted connection between water and spirituality within Hindu traditions. The Ganges River holds immense importance for Hindus; it is believed to possess purifying properties capable of washing away sins and granting spiritual liberation. Lissac masterfully captures this momentous occasion, showcasing his talent for capturing both beauty and symbolism through his lens. Through this image, viewers can experience a glimpse into India's vibrant tapestry of faith while being transported to a realm where divinity meets nature's serenity
