The priest from Gaurikund by

Gaurikund is a samll city in the state of Uttarakhand, India.
This city is the start of a long 14Km trek to a Hindu holy place Kedarnath.
I shot this photo in this city. I always hated my inbuilt flash but after this shot I dont hate it anymore. He was so much happy that he gave me a hug and said no body even cared to take his photo when thousands visit this place!

Canon 1000d, 17-70mm lens, f3.5, ISO800, 1 sec ( !!!!, this was such a low light place )
