    Fantastic shot. Couldn't imagine that being the healthiest thing, even if the river is sacred.

    I was told that these places where scared & really off limit to photographers, yet I see millions of images taken near the holy waters of river Ganges in Varanasi, India. Or is it one must not take fotos of the untouchables. Well whatever it is, I am so glad that U created such a beautiful portrait of this individual & share with us all here.

    Thanks for your interest, Mario.
    In Varanasi, you may take pictures wherever you want to except for the crematories (anyway, shooting while somebody is mourning a recent dead relative wouldn't be so polite either)
