Description
Indian Sadhu Carries the God Shiva Symbol Trident.
I took the photograph in Varanasi, India, as the Sadhu was begging for a donation. In return he allowed to take a photo.
In Hinduism, sadhu means an ascetic, wandering monk (or nun: sadvi). A sadhu is dedicated to achieving liberation, through meditation and contemplation of brahman. They are highly respected by Hindus and given food in return for their blessings and prayers.
