Denali’s newest AVTAR — Badam Sheikh [Ankur]

Or, “almond chief”, in Hindi-Arabic-English.

Today we bathed in the Ganga at sunrise, in silence, with only a few other pilgrims around us at the banks near the ashram we slept in. Two hours later at the main bathing site in the city we watched hordes of people splash around like a carnival. And we gave thanks for our early morning of solitude. [Denali]
