Santosh Hijra From Nasik Gets His Cheeks Pierced, originally uploaded by firoze shakir photographerno1.
Because I was shooting the young superman with hooks for hanging from a crane I missed Santosh hijras rod piercing but I have shot a lot of pictures of his piercings last year.. at the same place same event.
Most of the hijras from Govandi antop Hill Dharavi come to support Sanotosh hijra and they dance have fun till the procession reaches Kotaya Marriamman Temple at Sion Koliwada where all this comes to an end after the removal of the rods.
