A sadhu, immersed in deep prayer, participates in the sacred ritual of Rakher Upobash at the Shri Shri Lokenath Brahmachari Ashram. Surrounded by the soft glow of oil lamps and the soothing scent of incense, he joins fellow devotees in offering prayers for health and blessings as part of the Kartikabrata fasting tradition. This spiritual observance, held during the final days of the Kartik month, symbolizes light, hope, and devotion. As the lamps flicker to life in the evening, they break their fast, embodying a community united in faith and love for their loved ones.
