In this photograph taken on September 10, 2015, a Pakistani devotee carries a symbolic paper boat, an offering to Muslim saint Abdulqadir Jilani, as a way of giving thanks after their desire to give birth to a son was fulfilled before dropping it into the water during an annual ceremony on the banks of the River Ravi in Lahore. The ceremony commemorates a centuries-old tale that saint Abdulqadir Jilani raised a sunken ship carrying a wedding party, at the pleading of the groom's mother, saving all the occupants.
