Dam Madar Malangs And The Beggar Poet From Mumbai, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.
I was destined to shoot this last year and I had to skip shooting the 14 Stations Of The Cross Good Friday that I shot barefeet in Mumbai at Santacruz ..following the procession from 10 am till 3.30 pm.. it was the first time I missed it .
Here I was in Makhanpur documenting the Order of the Dam Madar Malangs at the Holy Shrine Of Zinda Shah Madar Makhanpur in Uttar Pradesh close to Kannauj.
After completing the Urus here I took a bus non stop to Lucknow via Kanpur and stayed at my in laws house and the next day shot the Holy Shrine of Dewa Sharif.
