The government bangh shop

Puri, 30-01-1994. Puri being a holy city means it has a government bangh shop, officially only for sadhus. They need the bangh, pot really, to get closer to Shiva. However, like anywhere else in the world and definetely in India, money goes a long way to make things go easy for you. Armed with bangh I walk down the beach to a quiet spot, smoke bangh and watch how the locals carry firewood to the village.
