    The reading

    The river and the ghat, today's flow, where that flow ranks against every day since 1997, and how far you are from the water.

    The figure is today's, and it changes every morning.

  2. 020:15, 45 seconds

    The breath

    The waterline rises and falls. Four seconds in, six seconds out.

    How far it travels depends on today's flow. A river in flood breathes bigger.

  3. 031:00, 11 seconds

    The sankalp

    Your own words, written once when you set up. The water goes still and they sit on the screen.

    Put your thumb on them and hold. Ink fills the line over eleven seconds. Let go early and it drains, and you start the hold again.

  4. 041:11, 60 seconds

    The stillness

    Put the phone down. The screen goes black for a minute and the river keeps running.

    Pick it up early and the minute still runs to the end.

    The mark

    Your morning is written, and your Sankalp Patra is drawn from it.

    One morning a day. Every morning you keep is listed on your account page.

The screen goes black for a minute.

Halfway through, the screen goes black and asks you to put the phone down. The river keeps running while you sit.

Put the phone down.

The minute runs its full length, today and every day.

The Sankalp Patra

Every snan ends in one sheet. It is yours to keep and to send.

Names
Your name and up to five more from your household.
Portrait
Your photograph, if you add one.
Prayer
One prayer you choose when you set up.
The river
The water and the ghat, the flow that morning, and its rank since 1997.
The sky
The tithi, the nakshatra and the moon that morning.
The moment
When you kept it, in your own time and in India's.

The engraving

The band of water on the sheet is drawn from that morning: the water, the day and the flow.

A river in spate draws dense and high. A slack one draws thin and low. Two mornings at the same water draw differently, because the flow was different.

A Sankalp Patra, as it arrives on a phone: two names, the Ganga at Haridwar, today's flow and rank.
SpecimenA sheet as it arrives in a family group, drawn from the Ganga's own figure today.

Before you pay

  • Do I have to be up before sunrise?

    The panchang names the muhurat, and a reminder comes at the hour you choose, in your own time zone. Sit when you wake. One morning a day.

  • What if there is no figure for today?

    The sheet stands on the river's usual flow for that week of the year.

  • Can I make it shorter?

    Pressing nothing gives the whole three minutes. Next moves you on when you are ready, from the reading, the breath and the stillness.

  • Who sees my sankalp?

    You. It stays on your own account. The sheet carries the names, the water and the figures, and that is what you send.
