I do not understand why am I so fascinated by Sadhus, they make such interesting subjects. This particular sadhu was sitting in a small cave in Pavagarh.Loved clicking him.

Yes, I do agree that sadhus and smaijis make for interesting subjects. Is it because of their other worldliness or is it their saffron robes that attract is a mystery. On a recent visit to Varanasi, I tried to photograph two of them from a moving boat and their responses differed widely. One glared at me and looked away and the other blessed me and posed for a photograph !
