Kumbh bath ghats out of bounds to lensmen

The Hindu  

Are you going to the Kumbh Mela in Allahabad to take a snap at the bathing ghat? In 2001 two Indian news magazines published pictures of a Mexican woman who had stripped nude to bathe at the Sangam during the Maha Kumbh Mela. This led to the Allahabad High Court banning photography of nude sadhus and women bathing at the event. Brijesh Jaiswal, the photographer who took one of those full frontal pictures, recounts his disappointment over the “harsh move.” “Banning photography completely is not the answer. The mega event will begin on Monday even as doubts are being raised over the administration’s preparedness for the first shahi snan, Makar Sankranti, which is the second largest bathing day before the Mauni Amavasya.
