Flicker of candlelight , A gently gliding boat , The world bathed in tranquility , The air filled with prayer , The riverbank Teeming with humanity- An artists palette Of myraid hues .
A fireball appears Suddenly from nowhere Breaking the dawn , Painting the world Orange , yellow and pink . The heavens complete !
How lucky are we- You and i To share this heaven For a while !
From the collection of Ms Kusum Rajapakse , Colombo
The river Ganges is holiest of holy rivers of India. An early morn boatride , before the crack of dawn is truly magical experience to realise how teeming millions revere this sacred life giver
