Maha KumbhMela 2025
In this Kumbha Mela, I walked a lot with both my phone and camera all the time. I saw many people of different kinds, but I didn't take as many pictures as I had expected. I don't know why.
I do not believe in any specific god or religion; this was the biggest gathering of people I could see and observe. So my observations are also with that bias.

I did take some pictures of Naga Sadhus and Babas, just like the last few times. They were not my primary focus.

As I said, I took very few pictures, but I think I observed a lot. Maybe one day, I will bring them to words; until then, here are some photos.
