    Chhath is a Hindu festival celebrated each year by the people very eagerly. This is very antique festival of the Hindu religion dedicated to the God of energy, also known as Dala Chhath or Surya Shashti. People celebrate this festival to offer thanks to the Lord Surya for blessing the life on the earth as ever. People worship the God Sun very enthusiastically and pray for the well-being, success and progress of their family members, friends, and elders.

    The light is what makes this image just so visually strong. It caught my eye right away during my edit, the composition is interesting as it leaves some nice space on the left side of the frame and places your subject in an interesting location. I love the clash of tones of here from the water and the clothes your subject is wearing.
