Indranath is a barber from a remote village in Madyapradesh . He came to Kumbh along with group of barbers and they offer hair cutting services for the devotees coming to Kumbh. He came three days after Kumbh started and he is already here for more than a month.
he said he gets free food, free accommodation, free holy bath, free darshan of mahatmas and good money for his service where in his village he has to struggle for customers. He is happy that he made quite a money this time and wants to go back with full of money and wants to repair his small shop in his village with the extra money he earned. Indranath felt this Kumbh is the largest ever he has seen in Allahabad. I could not forget his glowing smile and the blue eyes!
There was a separate area arranged for hair cutting services to the devotees coming to Kumbh . The barbers wait here for the devotees to come. Shaving head costs 15 rupees , a simple shaving costs 5 rupees hair trimming costs ten rupees ! You can see yourself how they give their service!
