Sadhus: The wandering ascetics






These are photographs of the wandering Indian renunciants, begging monks, mystical walkers, roaming philosophers, miracle-workers, hash smokers, holy men and tricksters. These Sadhus are photographed in the holy cities of Rishikesh and Haridwar.

Each Sadhu will have his personally chosen avatar; pictured above is a massive statue of Shiva, in Haridwar, on the Holy River Ganga.
