For the past 4 weeks I have been working in India covering the Hindu Kumbh Mela festival. Over the 3 months of the festival 50 million pilgrims will attend on the banks of the Ganges. My interest lay in documenting Indian Saddhus, in particular the Naga Babas-. My first encounter with the Naga Babas happened in kathmandu a few years back, ever since I have wanted to photograph them as I find their lifestyle and beliefs absolutely fascinating........
India is a beautiful land with ancient moral and spiritual beliefs at the core of their society- something the west lost a long time ago.......
