The chilly water of the Bristol Channel was the scene of a religious ritual which is
The chilly water of the Bristol Channel was the scene of a religious ritual which is usually performed on the holy waters of the Ganges. The ceremony, called Bisarjan, centres mainly on the community of West Bengal, but is open to anyone who wishes to take part. It is part of a wider ceremony called Durga Puja. During the ceremony an image of the Goddess Durga is immersed in water as part of five days of worship by Hindus during the Autumn. Mr Dipak Kundu, who hails from Calcutta but now lives in Cardiff, joined a group of his friends on a boat in the Bristol Channel, four miles off the coast to perform the ceremony. Mr Kund said it was the first time the Bisarjan had been celebrated in South Wales - 14th October 1992

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a unique religious ritual taking place in an unexpected location. The chilly waters of the Bristol Channel become the setting for a ceremony that is traditionally performed on the sacred waters of the Ganges. Known as Bisarjan, this ceremony holds great significance for the community of West Bengal, but its doors are open to anyone who wishes to participate. Part of the larger Durga Puja festival, which spans five days and involves worship by Hindus during autumn, Bisarjan holds deep spiritual meaning. In this particular image, Mr Dipak Kundu from Calcutta, now residing in Cardiff, leads a group of his friends aboard a boat four miles off the coast to perform this sacred ritual. The year was 1992 when South Wales witnessed its first-ever celebration of Bisarjan. This momentous occasion marked not only cultural diversity but also showcased how traditions can transcend geographical boundaries. This photograph serves as a testament to unity and devotion as individuals gather together amidst nature's elements to honor their faith. It encapsulates both tradition and innovation while highlighting the rich tapestry of beliefs found within our multicultural society. Preserved by Western Mail and Echo Copyright through Memory Lane Prints, this snapshot from the 1990s immortalizes an extraordinary moment where spirituality meets vastness - reminding us that rituals have no bounds when it comes to expressing one's devotion.
