Holy Men of India
Narrator PATRICK ALLEN
Twelve million people - the greatest crowd ever assembled in one place - gathered at Allahabad, India, to celebrate the Hindu Kumbh Mela Festival. The centre of attraction: India's holy men who performed strange and often horrifying rituals in their search for enlightenment - Nirvana. This film shows the extraordinary life of exotic self-denial practised by these men in scenes never before filmed.
Film cameraman NARESH BEDI Film editor MARTIN CRUMP
Written and presented by JENNY CROPPER Series editors ANTHONY ISAACS and PETER JONES
