The Ganga Aarti is a pooja conducted every evening at the Dashashwamedh Ghat on the banks of the river Ganges in Benaras. This pooja is across 4 stages, where the God Shiva, the river Ganga, Agni and Surya are worshipped. The shot was taken from up close from a seated position to capture the priests, with their arms raised to the deep blue evening sky with the river at the backdrop.
