Chhath Puja

Documenting devotion in light and water.

Chhath Puja is a deeply spiritual celebration dedicated to the Sun God and Chhathi Maiya, observed with unwavering discipline across parts of India. This series captures the quiet strength and luminous devotion of the festival – from the meticulous rituals at dusk to the serene offerings made at sunrise.

Set along riversides and urban water bodies, the images reflect the intimacy of prayer, the resilience of the human spirit, and the sacred bond between people and nature. In these frames, faith becomes visible – glowing, grounded, and timeless. This is not just a celebration, it’s a lived poem.
