Incense fills the air, and the sound of the gongs resonates down the river. The ceremony lasts for about 90 minutes. Hundreds of candles, placed upon a basket, float to the sea (these candles are made from banana-leaves & flowers). They are sent into the river in remembrance of departed loved ones, as a gift to Mother Ganga.
