Sadhu At Basantapur


Sadhu At Basantapur


Now here's a rare sight in Kathmandu - a genuine saddhu, rather than the big well-fed chap in the red robes with the snake-headed staff (anyone who's ever been there will know the guy I mean - he's even pictured into some tourist guides and is one of the most successful entrepreneurs in Nepal's tourist scam industry). The chap in this picture with his eight-foot dreadlocks was so far out of his head on ganga that he didn't seem to care whether passers-by put money into his begging bowl or took it out.
