Taken during travels, 2017

The Aarti Ceremony is a nightly event in Rishikesh. It is a celebration of fire and associated with the god, Shiva.

This night, a group of Japanese students must have been graduating from a course held at the Ashram. Several were participating in the ceremony and photographing it, and taking plenty of selfies.

Meanwhile, I was snapping away myself.
