Coin collector boy

I was waiting at the entrance of the jetty to catch the ferry to Gangasagar island when I spotted this young lad all soaked in mud. In fact he belonged to a group of local boys of his age collecting coins thrown on the bank by pilgrims on their way to Gangasagar fair.

Photoburst is a photo of the day contest focusing on Travel Photography.

Everyday (from the 1st until the 28th), among all images uploaded by our contributors, we publish a photo of the day (POTD).
Every week (on the 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th), among all POTDs of the preceding week, we select a photo of the week (POTW).
On the 30th we select the best POTW as photo of the month (POTM).

The author of the POTM receives:
a US$50 gift certificate to Kiva + (in even-numbered months only) an invitation to be Photoburst's guest editor in the following month!
