I guess this what they mean by 'being comfortable in your own skin.' :) What is it that they smear all over themselves? Holy ash? Or is it that white dust you spoke of in an earlier post.
Naga sadhus who epitomise renunciation, these days talk on mobile phone and pose for picture. Is this progress or modernity dragging recluse into the maelstrom?
I have never seen a more confident model :)

DeleteThese unique ash-smeared sadhus make the kumbh mela intriguing. Never thought that they pose for such pics!
ReplyDeleteSome are quite eager to pose while there are few who stay away from all the flashes.
