著者について
Govind Swarup has a Master's degree in Political Science and spent his growing years in Allahabad. The magh melas (annual fairs) and the Kumbh Melas on the banks of the river Ganga, the sadhus and ancient holy rituals inspired him to attend the Kumbhs at Haridwar, Ujjain and Nashik as well.
His passion for photography began with a small box camera presented to him by his father, with which he shot the Naini Lake (Nainital) and won recognition from the magazine Soviet Land. Exhibitions of his work have been held in various places. He has contributed features to the Illustrated Weekly of India, the Sunday Observer and many other Indian magazines, newspapers and photography journals.
A bureaucrat by profession, Govind Swarup is presently the Principal Secretary to the Government of Maharashtra and lives in Mumbai. A former Collector of Nashik, he is closely acquainted with its people and history. This book is his personal tribute to the town and the Kumbh Mela.

JUST LIKE BEING THERE..ALMOST!

This book is fantastic. It really is, as the previous reviewer says, almost as good as being there! It shows the various parts of the sacred Ganges where different sects and people of India and Tibet make their pilgimage to the Kumbh Mela. It shows Vaishnite, Shaivite, and other types of babas (holy men)..The pictures, MY GOODNESS they are so beautiful and candid! It shows arial views where theres so many people they look like a million dots! Also, this book may seem as merely a "picture book" but it is much much more. Crisp CLEAR pictures...even FEMALE Sadhis! Rare to see them! There are at least 3 photos of them. Most authors leave the Sadhis out..because they are female...
I suppose what Im trying to say is : I believe the author wanted to portray this holy bath with beautiful photos (that HE took) instead of with so many words..you must see the Kumbh Mela to kno what it is. And as much as I want to go to India so very bad, i cannot for a few more years, this helps alot for my aching of going. It will put a smile on your face!
Its worth every single penny!
It is also a long lengthwise hardcover book worthy of a coffee table book. Wonderful!
NAMASTE!
