It was our last day at  Kumbh 2013 and as usual in the evening I made some friends which eventually becoming friends with a small family from Allahabad who came there to offer their prayers to Holy river Ganga . The family had a  gorgeous looking typical ‘Indian’ ( Desi)  women , her sister , mother and brother ,  her in-Laws .  It was a pleasant bright evening  after the sunset and as the loud speaker started chanting the Ganga prayer I was ready with my gear to capture some pictures. Every member of the family one by one offered prayer and capturing them in the twilight was just a treat for my own eyes!

I captured all the frames and I asked the phone number of the brother so that  I can send all these lovely photos . But he forgot his newly aquire number and he left his cell phone at home , he took my number to call me and give the details. I told him twice that the photos are very nice and do not forget to call me . But he never called back! Even today whenever I look at these photos I fell guilty of not digging out a little more for his contact details . Hope he finds these photos and I can send some prints .
