The Sacred Flame : Prateek Dubey
Fire is the most sacred element in Hinduism. The logic being that it is the only element which cannot be polluted. So the sacred color for Hindus is the feiry Orange. Fire is made a witness in all important rituals. Starting with housemoving, to weddings ( One has to take vows in front of fire and take seven circles around it) and to death. In this case, the morning prayers in ode to Mother Ganges were performed at Haridwar and the fire then divided into many smaller flames taken around to bless all and sundry. It also makes money for those who carry it around.
