India - A Collection of Photos

The Smoking Sadhu – This gentlemen invited me to smoke at India’s biggest religious gathering, Kumbh Melah. We sat together for a while in his tent, smoked, communicated with hand and feet and had a good time together. Sadhus, also often called Jogis, are people that follow a path of spiritual discipline and renunciate worldly belongings. There are plenty of Sadhus in holy Hinduistic cities such as Varanasi, Mattura or Madurai.
