21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
Tarpana.

Tarpan is a Hindu festival which is considered inauspicious. This event is observed to remember the dead people. A woman was doing tarpan in the river and some people were bathing in the river. At that time some group of boys were jumping into the river in a playful mood. Seeing that, I also got down in the water and went very close to the woman and took this picture.
