Most of the migrant beggars that come to Ajmer during the annual urus of Khwajah Garib Nawaz the Holy Saint of the Poor and the Remover of Obstacles bring their families , they could be relatives too all from the same village and they come with hope to beg and supplement their income ,,
Deformed children , cripple blind polio afflicted bring in more alms , man gives generously seeing this physical degeneration.. children are forced to beg long hours , food is easily available as everyone feeds beggars at the various restaurants that serve food to the poor taking money from the rich for this service.
And I shoot all this , the beggar families living on this mound in makeshift tents held on broken branches of tree ,, poor living in a clustered hell ..there could be more free elaborate housing for them but during the Urus accommodation comes at a price ..
The poor sleep in any available open space,, and I just this without framing composition ..my beggar pictures dont need camera salon walls ,,, lol but my beggar pictures are records of the degradation of human life .. we are certainly not created equal..
This picture hit me real hard..
