Sadhu

At one of the intersections in Jaipur we saw a sadhu. A sadhu is a renunciate who renounces everything. He relies on donation for food, water and anything else he may need. When I asked why he was touching the car, he told us that he was "crazy" on drugs. We thought he looked pretty cool.

Hope you are enjoying the pictures. It is really hard to choose 4 or 5 out of the hundreds we take in a day.

  1. Where can I sign up to be a sadhu?
    I'm "crazy" on drugs, too!
    At least, what I can remember of them, and
    those days.
    Well, these pictures are amazing. My favorite
    is still of Capt Cyrus at the controls.
    I have to go to my job now, painting window
    trim! and watching clouds. And touching cars.
