Description:
Two novice Saints (Sadhus) inside their Teacher's (Guru's) den at Kumbha fair (Kumbha mela) India.The distant one sits in smoke. Once they become a full-scale Sadhu, they would be required to sit before a fire for many hours a day. This is just what is being practiced here. Kumbha mela is a Hindu pilgrimage that occurs four times every twelve years and rotates among four locations: Prayag (Allahabad), Haridwar, Ujjain and Nashik. Each twelve-year cycle includes one Maha Kumbh Mela (Great Kumbh fair) at Prayag, which is attended by millions of people, making it the largest gathering anywhere in the world.
