The man in red has a shack near Assi ghat and is suffering from some debilitating illness and to treat which he asks for alms from passerbys and also strenghtens his case by offering to show his wound on some unmentionable place.
My intention again is not to showcase or mock poverty in these images but to stop by, listen, empathise, help and record the lives of the unfortunate havenots.
I thought (not demeaning the misery of the sick man) that the white and red colors associated with an angel and the devil respectively also make this shot peculiar.
