An Indian child dressed as the Hindu deity Shiva is dancing with others while begging for alms in Siliguri, India, on April 6, 2024, ahead of the 'Charak' ritual observed on the last day of the Bengali calendar year. Hindu devotees are offering various symbolic sacrifices in the hope of gaining Shiva's favor to mark the advent of the Bengali New Year, which falls on April 14. (Photo by Diptendu Dutta/NurPhoto)
