The life of a beggar
He is a beggar who used to beg at Pitru Paksha festival at Banganga Mumbai he has a crooked back and is physically challenged .
He comes to beg here every year I have not been to Banganga a sacred water tank last two years of the pandemic .
I shot this feast barefeet dressed in saffron ..on the steps that lead to the tank and out on the street there are lot of beggars mother's children even a leper .
The North Indians mostly migrants from UP celebrate this feast in remembrance of their departed ancestors this is a Brahmin feast .
I come here firstly to shoot the street barbers who perform religious tonsure ...integral part of the puja and rituals and the dip and immersion of the puja items .
