Tarpan Ritual On Mahalaya 2022

A Hindu devotee performs "Tarpan" ritual to pay homage to her deceased ancestors on the bank of the Hooghly river, in Kolkata on September 25, 2022. It was the last day of "Pitru Paksha", a 16–lunar day period in Hindu calendar when Hindu devotees pay homage to their ancestors through various rituals. The day is also called "Mahalaya", when, according to Hindu mythology, Hindu deity Durga killed the demon king Mahishasura. (Photo by Sankhadeep Banerjee/NurPhoto)
