A man who wears a sewer lid as a halo. Figures.
Oddly enough (or maybe not so oddly), this reminds me of the Japanese saying "Kusai mono ni, futa wo suru" (くさい ものに ふたをする) -- meaning "If something stinks, put a lid on it". In other words, cover up, whitewash, pretend. Just so you look good on the outside, that's all that matters.
But in any case, I like what this photo represents -- a union of polar opposites. The sacred and the profane, The Brahmin and the Untouchable, combined in one harmonious image.
