cherlapalli_jailer Posted November 30, 2012 Author Report Posted November 30, 2012 [size=4][color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]But that didn't stop one devoted Hindu going for an industrial bubble bath to mark the Karthik Purnima religious ceremony celebrated on the full moon day of the Hindu calendar month of Karthik.[/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Other worshippers can be seen making their way through the foam on small wooden boats or carrying out prayers by the water's edge.[/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The images show poor water quality of the Yamuna despite efforts by the Indian government to rectify the situation. [/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]India has spent almost £200 million on unsuccessful schemes to clean the river, which is revered by Hindus and still plays an important role in many religious ceremonies. [/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Most of the pollution is centered around Delhi where 18 drains dump 600 million gallons of sewage in the river every year. [/font][/color] [color=#000000][font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]As well as industrial waste from local factories, locals also wash their clothes and utensils in the river.[/font][/color][/size]
