Fire rituals in the River

The nightly rituals along the River Ganges in Rishikesh can be heard throughout the town (unless you're stuck in traffic, then you just hear car horns).

Five people sit on a platform at the edge of a river at night. In front of them 5 fires a lit. Behind them a large crowd of people watch on.
