Holy smoke, a photo from Uttar Pradesh, North

Photographer's Note

This is the one side, I loved in Varanasi. Every evening at seven, young priest starting to make this incredible one hour ceremony at the Dasaswamedh Ghat.
It was full with spirits. This ceremony makes Varanasi absolutely unforgettable for me in the nice way.

Great timing, I love the smoky effect, everything is atmospheric, the frame is a bit strange.
