How our team of writers and photographers made the May/June issue


Behind the Scenes


Photographer Mark Daffey (above) withnessed the spectacle of Ardh Kumbh Mela earlier
this year and contributes to this issue’s Photographer’s Story (p70). From top,
colour-coordinated sadhus (India's wandering holy men) queue outside Geeta
Ashram awaiting a free evening meal; and the evening Aarti ceremony at Har Ki Pauri
is full of pomp and ceremony, particularly when three priests set lamps ablaze.
