The Mystic. Malang at the Shrine of Pir-e-Shah Ghazi. Kharri Sharif. Kashmir
I came across the Malang sat on a mat by a wall with his Rosary reciting whatever meditative prayers he had flowing in his mind. I watched him for a few minutes, just wondering as to where he was, what reality he was currently in, when he stirred and I conjured up enough courage to disturb his trance. I asked him a few questions, which he replied with mumbling something, I then just asked if I could take his photo and without a word he shifted, shadow fell across his face as he somewhere under the beard smiled, his eyes twinkled and I made the exposure.
