The face of Kumbh mela 2025

At Kumbh Mela 2025, I capture a Naga sadhu smoking weed at dawn, a powerful symbol of spirituality and tradition.

Wowow. What a colourful image. And I love how you capture traditions and rituals like this. Why is he smoking weed?

Ah, cool. Was also curious if that is because weed is a local plant.

Thank you so much Arjan! I was told that Naga Sadhus smoke weed to achieve deeper meditation and detachment from worldly life.
