This image is from the Mahakumbh 2025, the largest human gathering on Earth.

At the Kumbh, I was very mindful not to disturb the rituals or step into the Sadhus’ spiritual world. That is why I chose to use a drone, staying at a distance yet close enough to follow their movements. From above, the entire scene unfolded like a living tapestry of rituals, tradition, and human energy.
