The chilly water of the Bristol Channel was the scene of a religious ritual which is usually performed on the holy waters of the Ganges. The ceremony, called Bisarjan, centres mainly on the community of West Bengal, but is open to anyone who wishes to take part. It is part of a wider ceremony called Durga Puja. During the ceremony an image of the Goddess Durga is immersed in water as part of five days of worship by Hindus during the Autumn. Mr Dipak Kundu, who hails from Calcutta but now lives in Cardiff, joined a group of his friends on a boat in the Bristol Channel, four miles off the coast to perform the ceremony. Mr Kund said it was the first time the Bisarjan had been celebrated in South Wales - 14th October 1992
