TITLE: The Nagas Yogis Of India

The Naga Sadhus are followers of Shiva they are renunciates and they live in the Himalayas. The Kumbh Mela is held once every 6 years and the Maha Khumb is held once every 12 years. It is the only time during which they come down to the plains and it is, therefore, an occasion of great significance to them. They practice martial arts and yoga and meditation.

My earliest memory of my love affair with the camera began in Kenya where my father allowed me to play with his Yashica twin-lens reflex. Things which unravel out of your childhood are destined to stay with you for life, often biding their time until they emerge out of the shadows to become the only pathway.

Next, in Kathmandu, he bought me a Chinese-made plastic camera, my first. All I did for a few days, was have the back open, click the shutter and watch in wonder. None of the above actually amounted to me clicking any shots. It has been a journey of learning discovery and exhilaration since then. Photography, is a passion I feel, it consumes and transforms me on a tangible level, making a wanderer without a timetable. I could not have prayed for anything better.
