Safe keeping...

... the treasures is important.
You never know when the current of the flow can carry it along with itself. 

The crowd across the water

It was amazing to see the crowd gather-up so early in the morning, braving the cold, to take a dip in the "holy" waters. 

Prayers

...are an essential part of my life.
And for many more for whom a basic belief in the almighty is often a lifeline.

Oh re majhi...

Always reminded of this song when I take a shot of a boatman. 

Faces

The most interesting part about visiting a Mela is the gamut of faces you meet.
Some have questions, some just do not care, some are in their own world, and some just curious!

Coming soon!

Will be posting pics from my recent trip to this amazing Mela.
