***MY MOM II***, a photo from West Bengal, East

Photographer's Note

I SHOT IT AT GANGASAGAR MELA(FAIR).FOCAL LENGTH=105MM approx.
Gangasagar Mela is the largest fair celebrated in West Bengal(INDIA). This fair is held where the Ganga and the Bay of Bengal form a nexus. Hence the name Gangasagar Mela. This festival is celebrated during January every year and is a major attraction for millions of piligrams from all over India.
The pilgrims come for a holy dip on Makar Sankranti (last day of the Bengali Month) Negha -Mid January. They take dips in the Ganges and offer water to the Sun God. The dip, as they say, purifies their 'self' and according to them, 'punya' can be obtained thus. When they are done with the ritual obligations, they head towards the Kapilmuni Temple situated nearby, to worship the deity as a mark of respect....
***I DEDICATE THIS PHOTO FOR MY FRIEND ISABELLA AND HER SON****

Hi Subir,
I am first time in your gallery; it愀 full of emotional daily life shots from India. I choosed this one because it is simple but strong motif with fantastic look of this little boy. It愀 a pitty that his mother doesn愒 look to the camera but never minde for this detail. You captured sweet moment with nice composition.
Regards,
Stanislav
