Pehlwans

Pehlwans: Pehlwans is a series of photos that I took in India. It was in a sacred place that they were burning human corpses. we managed to get permit from their coach to take some shots about ten minutes. I decided to focus more on bodies and the beautifully of that tided muscles. Pehlwan is a person that do Pehlwani or kusti that is a form of wrestling from South Asia. It was developed in the Mughal era by combining native malla-yuddha with influences from Persian koshti pahlavani. The words pehlwani and kusti derive from the Persian terms pahlavani and koshti respectively. (from wikipedia) link of this series on my website: http://farsad.me/projects/pehlwans/
