Photographer's Note
This Hanuman trolled the Kumbha Mela for cash. Some hanumen fake this knife through the arm bit, and perhaps the blood is faked up here, but I got my eyeballs within inches of his arm and it sure looked authentic to me.

I read an article about these fake sadhus... This is such a really gruesome picture.
