13th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
portrait of a Naga
I visited Allahabad to photograph the nagas at Kumbh mela - the largest gathering of humans on the planet. It was a surreal experience and also difficult than i anticipated. Naga sadhus are knows to be very violent and so getting closer to photograph them was a challenge. I was shoved away overtime i tried getting closer or tried chatting up. at dawn,Just before sunrise i was wandering trying to get a glimpse of them before the action began and came across this interesting juxtaposition.
