Light up My World by Sudeep Mehta
On the day of Sharad Purnima (Harvest Festival), in Mumbai, India at The Gagangiri Maharaj Temple, more than 100 thousand earthen lamps are lit. Thousands of devotees come every year to celebrate this festival. The girl in this picture was lighting earthen lamps that were placed around a tree. I quickly climbed up the tree to capture this Ariel view.
