Rose is a shemale , the other sex , but that should not be held against her , that is her choice to lead the life that she wants to live ,,
I met Rose two years back and I saw her passion for Lalbagh Chya Raja , she cannot be stropped by anyone no security no cop , and she reaches the Pandal of the Lord come what may..She is besotted , she is crazy about Lalbagh Chya Raja though she is a devotee of the Saibaba of Shirdi , come Ganesh Chaturthi she heads to the Lalbagh Chya Raja bidding him farewell with tears in her eyes ..I shot her pictures and at Claire Road two years back someone opened my satchel, robbed my wallet , the pictures I had shot of the Arti and of Rose ..all my digital memory cards ..my battery charger ..and my Blackberry mobile phone .He could not rob my second camera because it had coconuts on top of it given to me at the Pandal that I give to Mrs Shatrughan Sinha and a few of my close Hindu friends .. The naryals of Lalbagh Chya Raja saved my camera fro being stolen though I lost all my shot pictures and the stuff mentioned above ,, I did go to Nagpada Police Station,,to file a complaint ,, but I never got my stolen stuff back..
So Rose has a lot of respect for me and this time to she was at the Pandal fighting of the private security and this time she had come with a desire to touch the Lords feet come what may.
I told a Karyakarta about her devotion , her immense love for Raja , and when the stage was being dismantled , he called her towards Raja gave her a coconut and allowed her to place her head on Lalbagh Chya Rajas noble feet ..
Normally I shot transgender hijras but dont post their pictures for pubic view at all as my pictures of this community have been stolen mostly by Flickr members .. so my Hijras of India set of 20000 pictures of Hijras including those taking a dip in the Sangam during the Maha Kumbh are all marked private ,, this I am posting as my gift to Rose and to Lalbagh Chya Raja..
