Members of an international religious movement called the White Brotherhood perform ritual dance on the top of the Rila Mountain, near Babreka lake, on August 19, 2021. Thousands of pilgrims gathered on August 19, 2021 in Bulgaria's Rila mountains to welcome their “spiritual” new year with a cosmic-like dance performed in concentric circles, creating a striking image on the verdant mountain plain. The white-clad dancers hiked up to Bulgaria's Seven Rila Lakes at an altitude of 2,100 metres (6,900 feet) and performed a special meditative dance known as “paneurhythmy” for more than an hour under the sound of singing and violins.
