Aghori // Devotee of Shiva
Monks who seek moksha from the cycle of reincarnation. This freedom is a realization of the self's identity with the absolute. The purpose of embracing pollution and degradation through various customs is the realization of non-duality through transcending social taboos, attaining an altered state of consciousness and perceiving the illusory nature of all conventional categories.
Aghoris live among India's cremation sites - where Lord Shiva is said to dwell - and feed on what others throw away. The Aghori are said to collect these remains and use them for their spiritual enlightenment, wearing the corpses, consuming them or building alters from them.
Great shot
Not sure how his face is lit. Reflecor?
the shadow looks fishy. look at the guy on the right border of the image. his shadow points in different direction. I think it is a composite.which doesn't change that it looks absolutely great to me.
.
Its lit using a speed light falling from the top right corner and the smoke is being lit by the sunlight. The shadow on the right side of the image is a Pothole.
EXCELLENT!
