Kumbh mela

Kumbh Mela, the largest religious gathering in the world, is held every 12 years in rotation at the four holy places of Haridwar, Allahabad, Ujjain and Nasik. The 2021 Maha Kumbh Mela was held at Haridwar. This collection includes Portraits of Aghoris and their activities (Aghoris are a small group of ascetic Shaiva sadhus based in India. They engage in post-mortem rituals. They often dwell in charnel grounds, smear cremation ashes on their bodies.).
