Sadhu in Kathmandu

By sawsengee  
Street capture of a hindu sadhu at the Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu Nepal....... semi naked, all decked with prayer beads around his neck, & heavy facial paintworks. He was seen sitting cross legged underneath a stupa with eyes cast down & in a semi-meditational pose with half his mind on this earth & the other half, somewhere else!!
p.s. better viewed large by clicking on the image.
THANK YOU everyone for the UAs, votes & pleasant comments.......very much appreciated. ee GrinGrinGrin
