Prompt
Scene: the banks of the Ganga in Patna on the evening of Chhath Puja, devotees standing waist-deep in calm water facing the setting sun, bamboo soop baskets filled with thekua, sugarcane, bananas and coconuts held up in offering; decorated sugarcane canopies and diyas on the steps behind. Moment or Pose: seen from the side and slightly behind, figures in yellow, orange and red sarees and dhotis, faces turned toward the sun and not the camera. Light: large low orange sun just above the horizon, golden reflections on the water, diya glow starting on the steps. Camera: 70mm, f/4, eye level from the ghat steps, water ripples sharp. Style: documentary festival photography, calm and devotional, true-to-life colour. Format: horizontal 3:2. Avoid: identifiable close-up faces, crowds pushing, litter, deity figures, text, logos, watermarks.
