A Sadhu in Varanasi, India. A sadhu is an ascetic or mendicant, abandoning the worldly life. Varanasi is the soul of India. Despite the commercialism and tourism, you can still feel a sense of the sacred there.

Thanks, Dan. Indeed, he oozes personality. I have a special kinship with sadhus, and it shows through my photos!

Thank you. I am actually obsessed with b&w. I feel it can bring out more atmosphere in certain situations.

I agree 100% BUT I am curious to its "color". Indian men in this category, show only in B&W....but not exclusive.
The gentleman's turban and his shirt can be extremely colorful in the Indian sects. All in great ways!

Dan, perhaps I exaggerated a bit. I do have renditions of sadhus in color, which I also intend to post. But B&W is always my first option unless it doesn't work as well.
