In collaboration and supported by Totally Thames. A trust, celebrating the River Thames with arts events, active adventures, environmental initiatives, heritage and education programmes.
For thousands of years, Ganga Mata (Mother Ganges), has received the prayers of those who stand at her banks at dusk, offering fire and song in the Vedic tradition of Aarti.
Now, this living ritual comes to the Thames – two ancient rivers, each having shaped civilisations and carried the prayers of countless generations, meeting in a single act of offering. An evening open to all — no background, belief, or prior practice required.
