As devotees walked into the white froth over the weekend, one could have almost mistaken it for a snowy lake. But it was actually industrial toxin-laced water, where many were forced to offer prayers to the sun god, who was almost invisible anyway due to the heavy pollution.
#ChhathPuja2019 | The 855-mile Yamuna river fulfills three quarters of Delhi's water needs. Hundreds of polluting industrial units pollute the river everyday, regardless of the fact.

#ChhathPuja2019 | The photos come at a time when Delhi and its adjoining NCR region is grappling with unprecedented PM 2.5 levels, due to which the Delhi government had to issue a health advisory and ask people to "remain indoors".
