Women in bright saris carry soop and daura baskets heaped with fruit and thekua to the riverbank to offer arghya to the rising Sun God. Banana plants frame the scene, the blazing sun rises in the corner and fish swim in the blue water - a joyful record of Bihar's most sacred festival. Finished with a hand-drawn chequered border in classic Bharni (colour-filled) style.
