Krishnakumar Tiuari after puja

Krishnakumar Tiuari ( " Batji ") after performing puja in the Shultonkeshwar Mahadev mandir, Pryag Ghat, Varanasi. He is busy rebuilding the inside of this temple with new marble linings and tilework. The shiva lingam is a solid granite piece sprouting from the earth, as are many of the linga in Varanasi.

 

The best of people with a big heart and happy with his life. Batji is a pandit who spends his day sitting under his umberalla on the side of the Ganges, performing rites for the hordes of visiting pilgrims, taking holy baths in the river. A kind, humble deeply spiritual and very honest man who has become a great friend.
