Ujjain Kumbh 2016

Ujjain Kumbh 2016

 

My first trip to Ujjain to document the #kumbhmela .

I was invited by my late Naga Guru I traveled by train and lived in the sector that was an extension of #junaakhara .

It was the main path that led to the River Sipra .

I mostly wore saffron ...I don't smoke weed but it used to be heady as most of then talked through the chillum.

There were intersting Naga Baba's I met the first Ardh Nari Nareshwar Sadhu though his colleague a Naga Baba hated Muslims infinitely ..would insult me humiliate me but as a photographer I took it in my stride as I was able to shoot a Naga Baba doing ling kriya with a spear .

They were perched on a hillock opposite where I stayed in my sector there was a highly educated Naga Sadhu he had renounced his wealth but had his own car .

It was here I met my good friend @darekuhar ..sadly did not get to connect with him on Shahi Snan .
